That is a pair of Tang-style "sancai" (three-colored drip glaze) lions. The unglazed portion and bottom do not appear to have much natural wear, nor does the glaze. Also stylistically they appaer a bit too whimsical for a traditional piece. To me, they appear to be 20th century. The crazing (or crackle) is not in itself indicative of great age, as it usually occurs during production due to the piece being allowed to cool too fast after firing.
