Day of the Dragon

Trend alert! Décor that features mythological creatures gets its moment to shine—and we’re slayed by how beautifully it coordinates with a variety of styles!

IT’S A MATERIAL THING

Our Foo Dragon desk lamp and our Asher table lamp each have Lucite elements—a clear connection that makes them well suited to light up the same space. Foo Dragon is available with your choice of ivory or gray linen hardback shade. Asher is available with polished nickel or antiqued brass bands.

FIT FOR ANY LAIR
Just as the little black dress is a timeless staple in every woman’s closet, so is the color black in design. Our Dragon table lamp brings the style—and the substance. Making it takes talent and time. One potter throws the base and then another applies the clay directly onto it, using tools to give it texture, shape, and detail. Finally, the lamp is given its glaze and fired to a deep, lustrous shine.

BEAST OF THE EAST
In Chinese mythology, there is a menagerie of creatures whose images and meanings have evolved over time. Our Foo Dog, which bears a resemblance to a lion, is a modern interpretation of a traditional guardian of Buddhist temples. Versatile in pure white, it is the perfect springboard for an Asian-inspired design theme and mingles well among other porcelain pieces such as our Black and White Gourd vase, our Small Black temple jar, and our Black and White Hexagon jar. It’s available left- and right-facing, making a pair perfect for use as bookends.

SYMBOL OF SECURITY
Here he is again, the majestic Foo Dog. Featured atop our Green and White Foo Dog jar, you can rely on him to be a symbolic protector of your castle. Using techniques that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years and materials from Jiangxi (the source of some of the world’s finest porcelain clay), craftsmen form and paint the exquisite jar by hand. Botanical green brings fresh appeal to this classic form. The jar is also available in blue and black.
