    My mom bought these and would like to know if anyone can help us identify when they could have been made. These were purchased from an estate sale in Texas. Measurements 15.5 x 10 x 26

      Can you add photos of the back and the bottom? Post the photos from a computer. When you post from your phone the photos come out sideways. Thanks.

      Females are rare. Look forward to seeing more pics and hearing what the experts tell you.

      Where did you mom buy these, and how long ago?

      These were purchased from an estate in Texas about a month ago.

      Wondering if any one can help with identifying the age and purpose of these foo dogs. They appear to be completely handmade. Are they considered to be Sancai pottery? Are they garden protectors or tiles? My internet searches haven't revealed much in figuring out age or purpose.

      Ok with foo dogs, the female may stand on a puppy and a male a ball both are about security, family and good will. Size matters and they sell well and I love yours.
