Antique Pair of Porcelain Chinese Foo Dogs circa 1910. This pair is hand crafted with detailed applied spirals covering the animals' bodies and heads. They are hand painted in 3 colors (Sancai) of yellow and brown Ochre and green. The ochre is a natural clay color with hydrated ferrous oxided added to deepen the color and tone.. The dogs (lions) sit atop retangular brown pedestals. They are ancient Chinese animals placed in and in front of homes for protection. One of the figures is slightly taller than the other and differs slightly  in decoration since they are hand crafted, though they are a matching set. The taller of the 2 measures 4 5/8" tall, 1 1/8" wide and 1 1/2" from front to back. The other is 4.5" tall, 1 1/8" wide and 1 5/8" from front to back. One of the figures has China stamped in red on the bottom. They are in excellent undamaged condition.
