very beautiful :) love this :)
love your Spritzdekor collection - I saw quite a bit of this pottery at the Museum der Dinge in Berlin last summer. Fascinating designs!
Is it German?
I recently found out there is a museum in Brussels completely devoted to this kind of mantlepiece clock sets:

This special typs of clocks are co-productions of BIHL-LADOWITZ (today in czech republic) -pottery- and the clockwork mechanism came mostly from Belgium.
In France and Belgium, they were very popular.
Fabulous! I love them!
Love the paint, very Jazz deco. I used to have an art magazine from Berlin that was from 1930 and it had the best deco I have ever seen, so fascinating !~Phil.
Season's Greetings to you and Yours, Berliner!
