This Pair of Celadon Peking Lion Statues brings traditional guardian-lion imagery to a collected interior. The coordinating figures feature expressive faces, curled tails, raised paws, and ornate sculptural details. Both rest on substantial rectangular pedestal bases, while the pale celadon-colored finish is accented by softly varied cream and warm beige tones. Each lion has a distinct pose, creating a balanced display when arranged together. Sized at 8 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 11 inches high, the statues are well suited to a console table, mantel, bookcase, or pair of matching shelves. Position them side by side as an inward-facing composition, or separate them across a room to create visual continuity. Their softly aged-looking coloration complements traditional, Asian-inspired, eclectic, and layered neutral decor.

Behind the form

It begins in the hands.

Before a piece is painted, its shape gives it character: the shoulder of a jar, the edge of a planter, the balance of a vase. The porcelain traditions behind our collection bring together forming, hand-painted detail, glazing, and firing.

A closer look

Notice how the painted line follows the form, and how the glaze catches the light.

At home with porcelain

A place for the details to live.

We like porcelain best when it feels part of everyday life, not set apart from it. A lamp can warm a reading corner; a jar can hold its own on a console. Blue-and-white pattern feels especially at ease beside wood, linen, and a little open space.

A room note

Give a favorite piece some breathing room, then let its color echo somewhere else nearby.
