DESCRIPTION:An amusing Chinese antique 19th century Qing dynasty turquoise glaze porcelain figure of a seated 2-horn mythical beast. Without the horns, it looks like a fu-dog or foo-lion. Turquoise glaze has uneven fine crackles, some big, some small. Areas of glaze thinning to yellowish-green color, mostly on horns, forehead & paws. Some dirt-like spots mostly on horns, ears & back shoulder, most likely firing faults. Base with adhesion from rough kiln removal. Interior burnt light yellow-orange-beige. Some original firing cracks under the glaze.A pair was sold at Christie's London on 22 Jan, 2013 for 2,000 british pounds.Free domestic shipping. International $100 shipping.SIZE: Approx. 10 inches tall, 10 inches wide & 7.5 inches thickCONDITION: A hairline on each of the hindlegs, with associated minor glaze chips, probably from the rough kiln removal. Base with some porcelain losses & show the white porcelain, also probably from rough kiln removal. Otherwise in excellent condition.COLOR: Please keep in mind that each monitor's brightness and color is a little bit different, it might show a little darker/brighter, or the colors might tint towards another color hue. If the exact color is a concern, please email me & I will try to describe it in more detail. Please keep in mind that both ebay & paypal rules clearly stated minor color variation is NOT a valid reason for returns.TERMS: ***ALL SALES FINAL***NO RETURN*** Money back guaranteed * "AS DESCRIBED" * with or without using ebay's buyer protection program. Please see below for reason. All returns MUST be pre-APPROVED Please DO NOT MAKE ANY ASSUMPTION. Words such as "possibly", "possible", "probably", "maybe", "or", "nor", "style", "type", "school of", "attribute to", "reportedly", "without a date", "approx.", ... etc., or any words that are uncertain or unverified, have important meanings & must be understood completely BEFORE BIDDING. < Forced return considered as abandoned property & will be discarded PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTION REASON: Latest ebay policy said accepting returns means buyers do no need ANY reason. Learned from a horrible experience & realized NO RETURN is the only choice if the only condition to accept returns is "not as described".PAYMENT:Paypal payment must be received within 3 business days after auction ended or after new invoice issued. More time will be accommodated if wish to use other form of payment, please email. Sale automatically voided thereafterSALES TAX: California resident please add 9% sales taxSHIPPING:International/Combined shipping will take around 3 days, for new quote (or longer, if needed to find new box to meet the size/shape shipping requirements & regulations for different countries and/or different shipping methods). Strongly recommend to ask for international shipping estimate before bidding in order to avoid surprises. International shipping could cost from 3 to 10 times the domestic cost. High shipping cost is NOT a valid excuse to cancel the sale. Item(s) will be shipped within 3 business days of Paypal payment i.e. if paid on Wednesday, depends on the size/quantity, will be shipped on Thursday, Friday or coming Monday Packing fully utilize RECYCLED MATERIAL (newspapers etc) to keep down the cost. If wish to use new boxes or foam peanuts, please email for new quote, a volleyball size object would easily cost another $3 to $5 more.COMBINED SHIPPING:Ebay now also charge their final fees on the ORIGINAL listed shipping charge. With the paypal fee, now adding 16% above the actual shipping postage is just to breakeven, without even considering the packing materials etc. Contrary to stated ebay's policy, based on my past ebay charges, sometimes the final value fee is based on the HIGHER of the stated or the actually charged shipping cost. I had wasted too many hours with them on the issue & never been solved If 2 items could be shipped for 1 shipping charge, combined shipping would be 32% above that single charge. For example, actual postage $5, shipping charge would be $5.80, if 2 items could be shipped together without additional postage, combined charge would be $5+0.80+0.80=$6.60 All private carriers & usps are now charging either by weight or size, whichever is higher, for the bigger package. If a combined size is bigger than a large airline carry-on luggage, it is very likely it will cost 50% or more to ship than as 2 packages. I learned the lesson the hard way.ENJOY YOUR HUNTING!Please see my other listings on ebay read more
