[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 9427045, member: 12382"]During my ongoing search form Asian porcelain items, I've by chance come across this unusual item, the like of which I've never seen before. The seller claims that it is a clock of some sort, from either China or Japan. The mechanism certainly seems to resemble that of some type of timepiece. The back panel of the item appears to bear a price tag similar to those I've seen on older 20th century items from China, so I assume that we're not talking about an antique item worth mega bucks. Nevertheless, I'd be grateful to expand my limited knowledge and find out the exact purpose of this unusual item. Any help most gratefully appreciated.
