About the Item
A dynamic and bold pair of Mid-20th Century glazed ceramic Foo Dogs (or guardian lions), crafted with fierce expression, open mouths, and powerful stances—each resting one paw on a vibrant pierced green orb. These highly detailed sculptures feature a rich mottled glaze in shades of gray, brown, and cream with contrasting green, pink, and ivory accents.
• Striking examples of temple guardian lions, symbolizing protection and prosperity
• Mid-century production, likely Chinese export, circa 1950s–1970s
• Each Foo Dog holds a green pierced ball under paw—a traditional motif representing global dominion or the “flower of life”
• Intricate molded floral collars in pink with green draping ribbons
• Signed in Chinese characters on the reverse
These make a dramatic impact as standalone sculptures or as bookend-style decor on a console, entry table, or sideboard.
