Elsewhere here last week I showed a parian-ware small statue of a lady looking at a watch and standing beside a sundial.  This is a 19th century unsigned sculpture, which carries an undated exhibition mark. 

Now I also show a closer look at her hand and the tiny (2 to 3 mm) sculptured watch she views - time is 14:30!  Even the watch's bow has been sculptured.  There is still some dirt from a restoration of the statue about 20 years ago.

Best, Clive

Dear sir Once in a while your'll come across very well made, high quality pieces, that deliberathly makes fun of our sense of time,- and style,- and quality. Nice piece. Yours Jacob /Copenhagen
