Excellent Meissen Rococo Style Piece of Art: On a curved base plate with diamond pattern in marble look, sculptured cushions with tassel decoration, on the side seated figures, girl and boy, who gracefully carry the round clock case. White porcelain dial with applied Arabic numerals and hands in gold, clockwork marked, with hour and half hour strike on bell. Pendulum medallion. Original movement checked by master clockmaker, completely cleaned and in working order, strikes once on the hour and once on the half hour. Designed by Paul SCHEURICH (1883-1945) who was painter, sculptor, graphic artist, drawer and stage designer. He worked for Meissen manufactory from 1913 to 1936 and belonged to one of most important porcelain designers of the first half of the 20th century. ON THE DESIGN: Forming originally in bronze. In 1918 Scheurich received the order for the production of a model, which should be suitable for the porcelain molding. The Meissen manufactory acquired this model in 1919 and the clock was made from porcelain in 1920. The heads of the figures - mostly with high, receding foreheads - are particularly striking and typical and similar in all Scheurich designs. For this Paul Scheurich used the face of his wife as a model, see Johannes Rafael: Paul Scheurich, 1883-1945, Porcelain for the Meissen Manufactory, [Meissen Manuscripts, Special Volume VIII], Meissen 1995, p. 32f. and p. 150. If one looks at Paul Scheurich's repertoire, he is without a doubt one of the most important porcelain designers of the 20th century. His customers also included KPM and Nymphenburg.
