ABOUT PRODUCTID 33151
This small Foo dog figurine is crafted from glazed ceramic in a vivid, saturated turquoise with subtle gradations into lighter and deeper blue tones. The glossy, glassy surface highlights the fluidity of the form and the sharpness of the details: stylized, swirling mane, defined facial features, geometric stepped base, and a ball beneath the paw. The design references traditional Chinese guardian lions from the late Qing dynasty and the early 20th-century export ceramics, blending classic Asian motifs with Art Deco-inspired geometry—visible in the openwork cutouts and clear, balanced proportions. The figurine stands 12 cm tall, with a rectangular base measuring 3 x 4 cm. Condition is excellent—no signs of wear, cracks, or restoration; all elements, including the glaze and sculptural details, remain original and well-preserved. This object carries the echo of the old East and the early twentieth century: its turquoise glaze catches the light as if recalling the splendor of ancient palaces and gardens guarded by stone lions. The Foo dog—both guardian and symbol of prosperity—appears here with restrained elegance. The geometric base and stylized details express a dialogue between tradition and the modern fascination with form and color, retaining a quiet sense of mystery. The figurine can be displayed on a dark wood console, where the turquoise glaze plays beautifully against deep natural tones. It pairs well with other ethnic decorations or against minimalist, light-colored walls, emphasizing both its collectible status and decorative function. Combined with Asian art books or geometric Art Deco ceramics, it brings a touch of refined eclecticism to any interior. The listed price refers to a single piece.
