VINTAGE ENGLISH STAFFORDSHIRE DESK CLOCK

Every genuine Staffordshire Enamels carries the initials of the artist responsible for 100% hand painting the box. Each box or clock is a signed work of art. Production methods have changed little from those used by our Georgian forefathers.

For each Enamel:

• Artwork for each design is hand drawn by distinguished artists, and approved by the Head Designer
• Once a finished design has been approved an outline is drawn in black ink and a ceramic lithograph printed. This is applied to the enameled surface of the box
• A further firing fixes the black outline which is then used by artists as a guide.
• Colours are hand mixed from specially selected fine pigments and oils such as clove, turpentine and aniseed.
• Platinum, gold and raised white decorations are all used on occasion to enhance the design and create special effects in the Georgian tradition
• Once hand painting is completed, the most time consuming of all the many processes, the box is again fired to fix the colours and add the final glaze.

Truly a Collector's item. Excellent Condition, new batteries. 2” across.
