AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lot of 2 vintage table clocks in artistic ceramic – Little birds and romantic couple – 20th century
Description
Elegant lot consisting of two vintage table clocks in glazed artistic ceramic, characterized by refined figurative compositions and delicate pastel white and blue tones.
Both clocks are perfectly functional and the ceramic structures are in excellent preserved condition.
First clock – House with little birds
Original table clock depicting a charming cottage with a sloping roof, decorated with two birds sculpted in relief.
One bird sits on the roof apex, while the second is on the left side of the structure.
The composition is enriched by a small decorative plant element on the right.
The ceramic features a delicate white coloration with blue and gray-green shading, enhanced by the glossy glazed finish.
In the center is inserted a circular dial with decorative Arabic numerals, dark hands, and a golden central element with ornamental motifs.
On the bottom of the ceramic piece the number 12247 is impressed, presumably identifying the model.
Second clock – Romantic couple with lamb
Refined figurative clock in glazed ceramic depicting a young couple in an affectionate pose.
The female figure wears a long pale blue dress with a decorative necklace, while the male figure approaches her, gently taking her hands.
At the couple’s feet is depicted a small lamb, adding a pastoral and romantic character to the scene.
The clock is inserted laterally within the composition, inside a shaped circular structure.
The dial features black Arabic numerals, dark hands, and a silvered metal frame.
The ceramic, in pale white and pale blue tones, presents a glossy surface and a rich, detailed modeling.
