Ceramics vase with characters in a landscape upon a Foo Dog

Charming and magnificent small Satsuma vase from the 19th century which is decorated with polychrome characters in an elegant japanese landscape.
 

Great mastering in the drawing and colors. Even the tongue of Foo Dog, sacred animal, a buddhist  symbolic coming from the Chinese guardian lions of Ancient China, has been painted. 

 

Little accident on Foo Dog's front leg and teeth and little signs of wear. See the photos.

A Good condition, no repairs.
