Antique Chinese Foo Dogs Guardian Lions, Pink Black Gilt Heavy Ceramic Foo Dog Pair, Feng Shui Statues, Asian Antiques Oriental Decor
SALE . . . 20% OFF! Handsome and striking pair of antique Chinese ceramic foo dogs in a very unique form and coloring. Circa early 1900s. Free Shipping!
They are both standing over a sphere playball, which represents the world or the home. Their faces have a fierce look about them with big glaring eyes and fangs that show from a reticulated mouth. This threatening appearance is believed to guard against evil spirits.
The heavy ceramic is deeply and finely molded with nice details throughout. Their faces have a wonderful expression with penetrating eyes. The mouth is open and features a hand sculpted tongue and bared teeth. They are hand painted with high gloss glazes in pink and black, finished with gilt accents.
Each stands 8 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide. They are very heavy weighing over 7 pounds as a pair before packaging! Both are in fabulous antique condition with one brow gone missing over the years, and one small chip on one foot. There is a bit of crazing commensurate with age.
What an amazing pair of vintage antique Chinese feng shui foo dogs in this hard to find form!
Now ON SALE for the first time! And, these heavy foo dogs ship for FREE!
