I believe most of the turquoise-glazed Buddhistic lions or "Foo Dogs" of this style on the market in recent years are no older than the late 20th century and probably come from the Shiwan kilns near Guangzhou, Guandong Province. I can't read either of the two marks I see on yours due to the fuzz factor, so can't say if they might indicate an earlier date.

Best regards,

Bill H.
