Description
There are 18 little aqua colored flowers of various sizes, all intact except for minor losses to tips, and with a pair of Foo Dogs (a baby Foo is jumping at his mother on the right). The Chinese Foo Dog is believed to represent the missing link between the Chinese wolf and the Chow Chow. Quiet in actions, serious in thought, the Foo Dog is alert, eager to learn, and a reliable worker; for centuries statues of this dog have been the favorite item for Chinese to put at entry ways to gardens and houses. The well made bell strike movement has a lever platform spanning the plates at the top, and is signed on the back plate; good porcelain dial and original hands. Height 13 inches
