A fantastic pair of mid-century Chinese sancai glazed porcelain foo dogs. A rare and beautiful find!
Sancai is a type of decoration on Chinese pottery using glazes predominantly in the three colors of brown, green, and creamy off-white.
Because of their protective symbolism, foo dogs should be displayed in places where they are sure to be noticed. Place this pair on a console in the foyer, or make them a focal point of the living room atop the mantel. Foo dogs also work well as decorative bookends, and look stunning placed at either end of a buffet in a dining room.
