The clock case depicts a tall stone fountain, with ferns to the right, a lady to the left filling her jug, the whole surmounted by a winged cherub pouring from his pitcher into the sink below. There are 4 wing-spread birds, one below the dial, one landing in the sink and two at the base. The matching vases with the same theme and birds as well. The well made bell strike movement is by Marti, Paris, and with a porcelain dial with gilt bronze dial center; there are minor hairlines on the dial, not noticeable. Overall a well made and artistically pleasing set. Height 20 inches
