Subject:Dating a Chinese Sealion Figure
Posted By: James Watson Sun, Jun 24, 2018 IP: 82.132.215.235

Hi - we’ve recently acquired a couple of pieces from a relative who’s passed away.. one is this Sealion, the other a lidded jar with 3 fu dogs on the top (I’ll send this as a separate enquiry), could you help? We think this is just a 20th century repro, but aren’t sure? Thank you

this is decorative art "made in Guangzhou, imitating ancient enameled ceramics". It's considerate and speaks to some integrity that the makers chose not to claim it as something it's not.

These I think are from the 1980's
