Pair of Fô Lions, Smoky Quartz on Base, 19th Century, Ming Dynasty Style
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Magnificent pair of Fô lions in smoky quartz each proudly resting on a small wooden plinth on feet.
Smoky quartz is a rock crystal that is distinguished from other quartz by its color which varies between brown and black.
In the 12th century, this brown crystal would have been used to make the first sunglasses in China.
Subsequently, in the 19th century, the use of smoky quartz in society evolved as it became the stone of choice for crystal balls used in clairvoyance.
It symbolizes the uplifting of the soul and protection against misfortune. It is a stone of protection and anchor used for meditation and rest.
Many legends present the lion of Fô to us as a benevolent being who would work together with man to drive out evil spirits.

Chinese Blue and White Fu Lion Headrest
Located in Chicago, IL
This small ceramic block is actually a form of Chinese headrest or neck pillow. Popular during the Qing dynasty, rigid headrests such as this were used by upper-class women to protect their elaborate hairstyles by elevating the head during slumber. This example dates to the early 20th century and is glazed in the blue-and-white style with deep, cobalt-blue color.
