This Chinese jade carving of a reclining lion measures about 2 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches by 1 inch tall (55 mm x 38mm x 25 mm).

It consists of a very pale celadon color jade (some would call it white jade) with a few tiny brown spots or suffusions.

This carved jade lion / Fu dog / Kylin is in outstanding condition.

It dates from the Ching Dynasty in China and most likely from the 18th to 19th Century.

The subject is a stylized and extremely well detailed lion curled up like a cat in front of a fireplace.

One of the enlargement photos shows it along with another jade lion currently being offered separately at this time. They are shown together here as an example of a few of the variations of color that celadon or white jade can show.
