| Two extremely rare green glaze foo lion candle holders of the Ming dynasty, these are not the typical joss stick holders, for reference of this type, please refer to the book " Song dynasty ceramics" by Rose Kerr. Shown on page 57 fig. 53, is a candlestick in the form of a lion, though dated 12th-13th century, the spouted form atop the backside of the lion renders it a candlestick. In good condition with minor chips and grazing of the glaze, all commiserate with age. They measure 6 inches high. PLEASE NOTE: What appears as a break or repair in the 1st photo on one of the lion's legs is a thin line of a white mineral deposit where the glaze ends. | ||||||||
