silver, with hand painted female displays. The silver has a gentle damascene pattern that reflects through the translucent blue enamel. The case hardware is silver (excluding movement and dial), with some oxidation. The top has 3 standing ladies in gowns in small cameos, and the base 3 child's faces in cameos. The urn is attached to a small octagon of white marble as a base. In viewing the top, realize that each cameo is only about 1 inch high, and is hand painted with fine detail. Refer to May 2000, lot 213, cousin to this clock sold for $4550+, while in April 2001, lot 283 brought $2250. Runs but could stand cleaning; enamel is excellent. Height 4.7 inches
