Japanese Oribe Shishi Okimono
This 19th century pair of shishi or mythical lions that traditionally stand guard outside the gates of Japanese Shinto shrines has been exquisitely formed of Oribe pottery as seen in the characteristic green copper oxide glaze. The fine attention to detail reflects the skill and artistry of the craftsman. Excellent condition with a wonderful patina. Height: 5”
