>> Help us finding the origin of our Unidentified Faience Clocks
The origin of some of our faience clocks is still a mystery.
For some, the
ceramic manufacturer is identified but we still need more information (i.e.
Elsterwerda, Wittenberg, S&G, AK...).
For some others, our clocks can be classified
into families by observing similarities, but the ceramic manufacturers remain unidentified.
In most
cases however, we can guess their country of origin.
Here follow the description and photos of the clocks for which we still need more info.
Should you have any, we would be really grateful if you could communicate it to us,
by contacting
our curator or by sending us an
email. Your help will be rewarded!
We think that these faience clocks were produced after 1945 by different German
manufacturers.
They sometimes have a metallic sticker with one of the
following inscriptions:
-
AK: does it stand for Alfred Klein Keramik in Ransbach?
-
S&G stands for Scheurich & Greulich in Kleinheubach. Were they the wholesaler of these clocks or their producer?
-
Kunst
Keramik: what does it stand for? Click here for more info.
