How dual pricing works: If a buyer hits Buy Now, the auction closes and current bidders receive an automatic notification with the option to top the Buy-Now price next time. The seller of this lot has chosen to keep Buy Now active throughout — some lots disable Buy Now after the first bid (you'll see "Buy Now closed" on the card).
Solid rosewood case, professionally restored 2024
Original 8-day mechanical movement, recently serviced
A striking vintage lidded urn by A.C.F. (Japanese porcelain, decorated in Hong Kong), crafted in a rich terracotta-red glaze with crisp ivory accents. The body features a beautifully detailed hand-painted floral bouquetâ€â€a large central rose surrounded by yellow blooms, forget-me-nots and soft green foliage.
The urn is finished with ornate metal mounts, including a decorative scrolling collar, metal finial, and a stepped metal foot with beaded edging. The interior shows natural age-related crazing, and the underside retains its original ACF metal maker’s disc.
Good vintage condition. Light age-related glazing lines and patina to the metal mounts. No visible chips or cracks.
