Pair Of Chinese Hardstone Guardian Lions

About the Item

Pair of hand carved Chinese Jade hardstone Foo Lions or Fu Dogs. This pair of Chinese spinach jade appears to be a nephrite, covered vases having a figural foo lion design with raised Phoenix tail feather designs. I believe it's made in the 19th century of the Qing Dynasty of China. Measures: H 10".
