This 19th-century mantel clock and its accompanying custom-fitted stand carry the recognized underglaze cobalt blue scepter and overglaze red orb marks, confirming authentic royal factory provenance. Reflecting the Rococo Revival period, the porcelain case displays hand-painted floral bouquets, sculpted cherub busts, and pronounced fired gold gilding. The clock rests upon a separate, original matching porcelain base designed with a central recess to precisely secure the upper case. A French brass eight-day movement with a bell strike anchors the interior. The documented maker marks, rich history, and complex casework present a substantial acquisition for collectors of historic German porcelain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecs\u003cbr\u003e Maker\/Artist: KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur)\u003cbr\u003e Year Made: 1880\u003cbr\u003e Materials: Hard-paste porcelain, brass, glass\u003cbr\u003e Dimensions: Overall: 15.75\" H x 10.25\" W x 7\" D (Base only: 3\" H x 10.25\" W x 7\" D)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eThis piece remains in excellent structural condition with age-appropriate rubbing to the gilding and no chips to the porcelain.
