- Bookmarkable URLSpring-driven clock with a case in the form of a fluted, Sèvres soft-paste porcelain column supporting a vase of the same material. Gilt-bronze swags of flowers decorate the case and part of the clock face. The column rests on two gilt-bronze collars above a marble base with four gilt-bronze bun feet. This kind of column clock was first produced at Sèvres in 1771 and the shape of vase on the top in 1778. The stem of the vase has been repaired and the knop of the cover is a replacement. The clock was in the collection of the 4th Marquess of Hertford by 1865, when he lent it along with many other works of art from his Parisian collection to the Musée Rétrospectif exhibition in Paris.

- Bookmarkable URLResting on a marble and gilt-bronze stand, this piece consists of two separate porcelain components: a column housing a clock, and a miniature vase placed on top. Both pieces are decorated with an overglaze blue ground with golden fillets, and joined with gilt-bronze wreaths on the sides. The column was also sold singly and available until the 1790s. Inspired by similar gilt-bronze designs, the model was probably introduced at the initiative of the dealers Philippe Poirier and Dominique Daguerre who specialised in luxury wares incorporating Sèvres porcelain. The cover of the vase is probably a later replacement.
