What periods do these pieces span?

The available selection covers a vast chronological range, extending from pre-sixteenth century dynastic eras like the Tang and Song through the Ming and Qing periods up to the early twentieth century. Items from earlier centuries often include funerary figures and celadon vessels, while nineteenth and twentieth-century examples frequently feature vibrant turquoise glazes, animal figures, and scholar's items.

How were figures like Foo dogs used?

Buddhistic lion dogs, commonly called Foo dogs or dogs of Fo, served as protective guardians placed at temple gates, domestic entrances, or important interior spaces. In ceramic form, smaller versions functioned as decorative architectural ornaments, roof tiles, or desk accessories within traditional scholarly settings.

What is the difference between earthenware and porcelain?

Earthenware is a porous, lower-fired ceramic body that requires a glaze to become impermeable, whereas porcelain is a dense, vitrified material fired at much higher temperatures. Chinese potters utilised both, applying lead glazes and vibrant colours to earthenware figures while reserving fine porcelain for delicate bowls, cups, and monochrome vases.

How do glazes differ across dynasties?

Earlier dynasties often prioritized subtle green celadons, pale qingbai finishes, and controlled multi-coloured lead glazes like sancai for ritual and funerary use. Later periods introduced intense iron-rust, tea dust, flamboyant turquoise, and intricate famille rose enamels, reflecting evolving kiln technologies and aesthetic preferences.
