China, 20th century
This impressive pair of Chinese export porcelain foo dogs, made in the 20th century, highlights exquisite craftsmanship and symbolism. Standing at 12.75 inches high, 5 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep, each foo dog is adorned in a vibrant turquoise glaze, a color traditionally associated with protection and prosperity in Chinese culture.
The male foo dog is depicted leaning his paw upon an embroidered ball, symbolizing supremacy and control over the world, particularly in imperial contexts. Meanwhile, the female foo dog restrains a playful cub on its back, symbolizing nurturing and protection.
These foo dogs are not only decorative but also carry significant cultural and symbolic meanings, making them ideal for enhancing any interior with their auspicious presence. Ready to be displayed, they represent a blend of traditional Chinese artistry and the enduring appeal of foo dog symbolism. Whether placed in a living room, study, or as part of a collection, this pair of turquoise foo dogs adds both aesthetic beauty and cultural depth to any space. less
