Vintage mid-century Japanese komainu guardian lion figurine featuring a striking turquoise-blue glaze with green, cream and dark brown accents.
The seated lion rests on a raised architectural-style base and retains its original red-and-gold “Fine Quality Relpo Japan” foil label. Komainu are traditional Japanese guardian figures closely related to Chinese foo dogs or guardian lions.
Measures approximately 8 inches tall, 4 inches wide and 3 inches deep.
This is one individual figure rather than a matched pair. An eye-catching example of 1960s Japanese export ceramics suitable for a mid-century, Asian décor or vintage pottery collection.
