This is an exceptionally carved and especially pleasing late Qing Dynasty FOO DOG and PUPPY carved of fine lavender jadite. Sculpted in great detail this is a fairly large carved work. Mamma and her puppy with a brocade ball and bilowing ribbon are totally adorable. The Foos recline on a detailed carved and cut out plinth made especially for the sculpture.
This very special winsome sculptural carving dates to turn of the century or earlier. If there is such a thing as personality in carving, it shows in this figural sculpture.
Dimensions: About 8"
Condition; Excellent

Here is a most unusual two piece censer, or covered ash tray. The top has a highly detailed carved trio of magnificently carved foo dogs in combat, each with a paw connected to another. The rounded base has a key fret pattern on the rim and there are circular turned marks on the base.
The details on the foo dogs are incomparable. This appears to be brown jadeite, or another stone bowenite? but I am not certain which one. Whatever it is is spectacular.
Dimensions 6" diameter 3 1/4" height
Condition: Very fine. One small chip on inner lid.
