Chinese Vase with 4 Loop Elephant Style Handles and Modeled Foo Lion Decoration

Red glaze splashed with white, and a lion on each side.

This vase with four loop elephant-style handles and modeled foo lion decoration was made in China in pottery in the 20th century. Foo lions are commonly used in Chinese art as guardian figures. The body is broad and low, with a flared mouth, and four small loops are set around the shoulder. The glaze is a rich red with irregular white splashes and flecks.

About 11 inches tall and wide. Loud, in a good way. Quiet rooms will adopt it as a conversation.
