Clock In Japanese Porcelain

Rare and Important Clock in the Form of a Covered Vase
Crafted in Japanese porcelain with Imari decoration, this exceptional piece stands out for the elegance of its polychrome motifs, combining shades of red, green, and black on a white background. The dial, finely mounted in gilt bronze, features white enameled cartouches and delicately worked hands in the shape of serpents, adding a distinctive touch of refinement.

The richly sculpted handles, together with the gilt bronze rocaille-style base, give the whole an opulent character, typical of the eclectic taste of the 19th century. The lid, surmounted by a blue cabochon-shaped finial, completes the harmonious balance of this decorative and horological masterpiece.
