A Chinese figure of Pixiu. Kangxi period

Decorated in famille verte enamels on the biscuit, seated on a rectangular base, his head turned to the right, the leading paw protecting his baby, the mouth open and the head with a horn.

A Chinese blue and white jar and cover. Kangxi period

Of ovoid form, decorated in underglaze blue, the body with floral sprays between wide blue-ground lappet bands, filled with leafy scrollwork. The short neck and a thin ring at the top of the vase is unglazed to accommodate the small, low-domed cover, that is decorated with a central flower.
