Unknown Ceramic clock Identification

Hello,

I have a ceramic clock that I'm afraid I don't know much about. Does anyone know the maker, approximate date and whether it has any value? I would have said its early 20th century but thats all I've got.

Many thanks
Matt

I think AF will help you with this and probably others so stand by.

 

Try looking at blue Limoges and Limoges style. Are there any maker's marks?

 

No marks on it anywhere unfortunately, I've had a look at what you suggested and some of the results are slightly similar so it could be

 

It's Joseph Strnact: http://www.clockarium.org/clock/mysterious/js_austria/

 

Great, thank you. Now that i know where to look i have found a very faded JS mark and what seems to be the number 1113.

They seem to be quite uncommon, do you know if they are worth anything?

 

They were pretty cheap in the day, and still are. The German and Austrian cases (Royal Bonn made lots of them) fitted with 2 inch insertion movements that ran for 30 hours were right at the bottom of the horological food chain.

Value would be modest and depend on where you are.
