This striking Foo Dog (Chinese guardian lion) sculpture was designed and modeled by Seven Moons Studios, a respected mid-century American studio known for expressive, hand-modeled decorative works. Bearing its original copyright 1956 label, this piece represents an authentic example of postwar studio craftsmanship inspired by traditional Asian guardian forms.
The sculpture is executed in glazed stoneware, featuring a richly layered green, celadon, and earth-toned glaze with natural pooling and tonal variation throughout the body. Finely modeled details—curling mane, alert expression, stylized musculature, and raised ornamental base—give the piece a commanding presence from every angle.
Standing tall and confident, this Foo Dog was designed as a symbolic protector and decorative focal point, equally suited for an entry console, bookshelf, or collector’s display. A rare and well-preserved studio piece with documented provenance.
