Pair of Chinese Turquoise Glazed Shiwan Pottery Foo Dogs
About
An absolutely delightful pair of Chinese turquoise glazed foo dogs, made for the export market.
Portrayed seated on their haunches, heads raised, mouths in a wide grin, as if expecting treats. They have wonderful molded eyelashes above bulging black eyes, floppy ears, and long beards.
The dogs are crafted from a dense brown stoneware known as shiwan, and glazed with a heavy, runny, turquoise glaze.
