According to ancient Chinese belief, roofs held a place between the mortal and spirit worlds and so eaves and ridges were often decorated with gods, animals, or mythical beasts. This celestial roof tile depicts a lion who protects and attracts good fortune. The tile was made by an artisan over a century ago in the Zhejiang region of China and has a colored wucai glaze.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
