Pair of Table Lamps with Chinese Ceramic Flambe Glazed Foo Dogs or Lions
About the Item
Fabulous pair of table lamps featuring wonderfully decorative ceramic figures of foo dogs, or buddhist temple lions, beautifully glazed with purple and blue streaks (flambé).
We love the opulence of colours and the intricate pattern of the glaze. Very decorative objects do add a pop of colour into a modern or traditional interior.
History
Statues of guardian lions have traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, Imperial tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy, and were believed to have powerful mythic protective benefits. They are also used in other artistic contexts, for example on door-knockers, and in pottery. The concept, which originated and became popular in Chinese Buddhism, features a pair of highly stylized lions—often one male with a ball which represents the material elements and one female with a cub which represents the element of spirit— that were thought to protect the building from harmful spiritual influences and harmful people that might be a threat.

The vases have the traditional pear-shaped bodies raised on slightly spreading feet, the waisted and flaring necks applied with two C-shaped dragon handles suspending large fixed rings, covered overall with a bluish-green glaze thinning to white at the edges and around the moulded peony scroll decoration.
