Japanese Ennai Style Chinese Pottery Lion Shishi Sancai Glaze Ming Qing Republic
Description
This is a pottery lion figure (Shishi or guardian dog) with vivid sancai-style glazes in green, brown, and blue. The playful form and decorative expression resemble Japanese Ennai ware, yet the reddish clay body and glazing style suggest a Chinese origin. It likely belongs to the tradition of sancai ceramics from the late Ming to Qing dynasty, or possibly into the early Republic period.
