Large Temple Lion Statues Foo Dogs Blue Porcelain 25cm

Beautiful and rare pair of large temple lion statues, better known as foo dogs or guardian dogs. These fine Chinese statues date from approximately the mid-20th century and are expertly crafted from blue glazed porcelain; they are numbered 201 on the bottom. These beautiful statues of seated, static foo dogs have a high collector's value and come in various sizes, shapes, and colors. They always appear as a pair and are mirror images of one another. One foo dog has its paw on a ball, while the other holds a small foo dog cub in check. Both statues are in very good condition, with only minimal signs of age and use, such as a tiny chip (1mm) missing from the glaze on a corner of the rear base of one statue; it is barely noticeable.
