Description
This round ceramic mantel clock brings a calm, glossy note of ocean blue to a mantelpiece or shelf. The case is a rounded drum with a raised rim framing a plain face, and the whole piece is finished in a smooth gloss glaze that catches the light. Instead of numerals, four slim raised markers sit at twelve, three, six and nine, so the face stays clean and easy to read at a glance. Slender gold-coloured hands with a small domed centre cap add a warm contrast to the blue. Two angled feet, formed in the same ceramic, lift the clock and hold it steady. It stands 13.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 4.1cm deep.
Because it is freestanding, it needs no wall and no fixings, so it can move wherever you need the time. At 13.5cm tall it suits a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a bedside table or a desk. At only 4.1cm deep, it fits narrow ledges and windowsills. The soft blue sits comfortably with sage greens, warm wood, white walls and natural textures, and the gold-coloured hands pick up brass or gold accents nearby. It works as well in a calm bedroom as in a sitting room or a home office, where a clear face without numerals keeps things uncluttered.
Behind the face sits a quartz movement powered by one AA battery, which fits into the back of the case, and a small wheel there sets the time. The ceramic body is glazed all over, feet included, for a smooth, even finish. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe the glaze with a lightly damp cloth when needed, keeping moisture away from the movement. Set it beside a few books or a small plant for a simple, pleasing arrangement, or wrap it as a thoughtful present for anyone who likes a tidy, colourful corner.
