Description
A beautifully preserved Franklin Mint collectible from the Victoria & Albert Museum Collection, crafted in fine porcelain with deep cobalt enamel and gilt accents. The lyre-shaped case, laurel garlands, and sunburst crest channel the elegance of 18th-century France—and this example includes its original bell chime, giving a soft, musical strike that’s tasteful rather than loud.
