Traditionally, Fu dogs were placed at the entrances to temples, tombs and other important buildings to prevent evil spirits from entering. This fantastic animal, seemingly a mix of dog and lion, first appeared in the Han Dynasty of 221 - 208 BC.

Height: 18 cm (7 inches). Highly collectable limited edition of 250. Modelled by Alan Maslankowski.

Burslem Artwares offer true quality, originality, and prestige in collectable figures. They draw on a wealth of creative patterns and motifs from Royal Doulton's cosmopolitan creative past. After all, the craftsmen of ancient China turned the decoration of vases and figures into an art form. The Flambe technique of firing originates from the Sung Dynasty of 960-1279 AD and it produces one of the most distinctive glazes ever created. Since the finish on each piece can never be identically reproduced, each limited edition piece is genuinely unique.
