{"product_id":"vintage-takahashi-porcelain-fox-bookends","title":"Vintage Takahashi Porcelain Fox Bookends","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"77\" data-end=\"606\"\u003eA striking and sculptural pair of vintage porcelain fox bookends produced for Takahashi San Francisco, embodying that refined, quietly luxe aesthetic that feels equally at home in a Ralph Lauren–inspired library or a collected English country house. Each fox stands alert and poised, finished in a richly hand-painted reddish-orange glaze with dark brown “socks” and softly contrasting white-tipped tails. The highly distinctive crackle glaze adds depth and dimension, catching light beautifully across their forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"975\"\u003eSet atop substantial rectangular bases with a textured finish and subtle gold-tone striping, these bookends balance decorative presence with practical function. Hidden fill ports on the underside allow for added weight if desired—an elevated detail that speaks to their thoughtful design. A sophisticated, character-rich pair that reads as both sporting and timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"989\"\u003eNo chips or cracks observed.

The fox motif feels heritage and sporting, while the crackle glaze and rich coloration give it that layered, collected look. They read far more bespoke than their origin suggests—and that’s the magic. Perfectly symmetrical but not sterile, polished but still warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2140\" data-end=\"2509\"\u003eSTYLING SUGGESTION\u003cbr data-start=\"2158\" data-end=\"2161\"\u003eStyle these on a dark wood bookshelf layered over a stack of leather-bound books, or flank them on either side of a low stack of equestrian titles on a console. They also work beautifully in a study paired with a brass lamp, plaid textiles, and a chinoiserie or sporting oil painting—leaning fully into that tailored, Ralph Lauren–esque atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martingale East","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47890639061236,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/6782\/9748\/files\/TakahashiFoxBookends.jpg?v=1774349302","url":"https:\/\/martingaleeast.com\/products\/vintage-takahashi-porcelain-fox-bookends","provider":"Martingale East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
