German 50's ceramic clocks

Three ceramic manufacturers produced similar clocks, probably after world war two.
They generally come with a brown glaze, but sometimes also with different decors.
They sometimes have a model number or "Germany" engraved on their bottom, or a metallic sticker with "AK",  "S&G" or "Kunst Keramik".
We totally lack of information on these manufacturers and are eager to learn about them.

AK Clocks

We have over a dozen of these ceramic clocks that sometimes have an "AK" sticker.

They sometimes have a model numbers engraved on the bottom; the models we have range from 404 to 414. For the other, we gave them a model number x1 to x9.
