The whimsical pair of mythical creatures are Foo Dogs with blue horns. They have the most lively faces with open mouths and large ear openings (essential for air to escape in this closed ceramic object.) Their pose is relaxed and restful, yet their heads are looking around. The material is a fine quality porcelain, clean, without flaws as good blanc de chine should be. The company 游林記造 Youlinji was an established shop at Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, the porcelain capital of China since the late 19th century and still in busy in the beginning of the Republic of China. Recent research on auction prices of similar materials showed 4 figure prices. The shop mark on one is better on than the other.
