Pair of Vintage Chinese Porcelain Blanc De Chine Foo Dog Statues.

Description

Wonderful matching pair of Blanc de Chine porcelain Buddhist lions standing on a pedestal.

Foo dogs, as they are commonly called in the West, actually depict lions that usually stand guard in front of Chinese imperial palaces and imperial tombs. They are depicted here with the male resting his paw on an embroidered ball and the female restraining a playful cub.

Probably late 19th century with a potter's stamp.
