Ansonia Clock Co. “La Vera”, ca. 1901.  A 12.5-inch porcelain (Royal Bonn) clock in Rich Color Ruby (or rose) with yellow daisies on the front and additional flowers on the sides.  No chips or cracks, no crazing, but some loss to the gold highlighting.  Beveled glass in an fancy bright sash; the dial has one faint hairline between the 7 and 8, and the Ansonia logo.  The visible escapement has steel pallets; the signed 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking without issue.  $200-$350.
