Lion Dog
Lion dogs, also known as Shishi, Foo Dogs or Guardian lions feature heavily in Chinese mythology and symbolism. They are thought to represent companionship, success, good fortune and protection. They are actually lion-like creatures as opposed to being actual dogs.
Famille Verte
Famille Verte is a style of Chinese porcelain decoration that uses a palette of greens.
