Pair Vintage Chinese Yellow Glazed Tall Foo Dogs, Mid 20th Century, China

About the Item

A fun and colorful pair of vintage Chinese famille jaune glazed porcelain tall (15") foo dogs or foo lions, Chinese export, early to mid 20th century, China. The delightful pair of dogs or lions are portrayed raised upon a tall plinth and seated upright upon their haunches, their heads turned to face the viewer, with one paw raised slightly. The male holds a pierced brocade ball under his raised paw, while the female wrangles an unruly cub under hers. The lions have wonderfully friendly and earnest faces. Their mouths are open to show off toothy grins and lolling tongues. They have flattened noses and bulging eyes. A series of "snail shell" curls (reminiscent of the Buddha's distinctive hair) adorn the top of the head and neck. The lions also wear jaunty collars set with a tassels and a bell, and tied with a ribbon to the back. Crafted in porcelain, the lions are glazed in the famille jaune palette, with bodies and heads glazed bright yellow, hair and attributes glazed green, and tails and plinths glazed an ochre brown.

Pair Chinese White Glazed Guanyin, Qing Dynasty, 18th Century, China

Located in Austin, TX

A sublime and rare pair of Chinese white glazed porcelain figures of Guanyin, attributed to Tang Ying (1682 - 1756), Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, China. This ethereal pair of white glazed porcelain figures depict the revered Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. Guanyin is portrayed standing, wearing heavy robes that drape beautifully around her figure. Bare feet peek out from under the hem of the robes. Her hair piled in a high chignon and covered by a cowl. The treatment of the hair, finely textured, unglazed, and with remnants of darker pigment, is typical of works by Tang Yin (1682 - 1756), who was the head of the imperial porcelain works at Jingdezhen. Guanyin's beatific face is set in a serene smile, with a small, flat nose, and downcast, heavily lidded, almond shaped eyes. A simple beaded necklace graces her chest. Her hands held out, and may have once held attributes. The hands were originally removable, but have since been permanently attached. The figures crafted of a fine porcelain and glazed all over in a supple white glaze. One figure bears a label from the Rafi Mottahedeh collection to the back. Provenance: Chinese Porcelain Company...
