The construction is the same as for Sale 5, lot 132. These two reclining beasts seem identical to each other, but they may still be from different moulds. The exterior details are uncannily similar, but measurements between certain points differ by a critical millimetre or two, which they shouldn’t if they were from the same mould. Also, one is fatter in the rear haunches than the other, although it is conceivable that such a variation might be due to the hand fitting of the two halves. If they are from different moulds, it indicates how careful the mould makers were to maintain the precise details of a popular model in making a new set of moulds.
Other versions are known with overall enamelling. They all appear to date from the Jiaqing period and exist in sufficiently large numbers to demonstrate a popular and, probably, imperial model.
This reclining lion is also found in a coloured version. For examples representing the full range of possibilities, see the commentary to this and no. 1199 in Treasury 6.
