AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dutch ceramic alarm clock from the first half of the 20th century, featuring a reclining German Shepherd figure, sculpted with notable realism and enameled in earth tones with a glossy finish. The clock, integrated into a circular structure with a rocky texture beside the dog’s front paws, showcases a dial with Roman numerals and central ornaments in a classic style.

It works with an alarm mechanism, although it requires adjustment due to its age. This piece combines practicality and decorative value, evoking European taste for functional figurative objects. Ideal for vintage horology collectors, lovers of artistic ceramics, or decorators seeking pieces with character and presence. Its overall condition reflects the passage of time with dignity, preserving the essence of an era when design and craftsmanship merged into everyday objects.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
