Artist: Longwy
Majestic Unicorn Dragon in Majolica carrying a working clock on its back. The slightly hollow incense burner which tops it is the upper part of a Chinese "gu" vase. This clock dates from 1882, it is signed Longwy under its base. It measures 49 cm in height and 36 cm in width. This piece is a Museum piece, it has no shock or crack, it is in perfect condition. Around 1872, to implement this technique, they brought Amédée de Caranza, an Italian artist who managed the Mikado factories in Japan, to Longwy. This is then the birth of the famous Émaux de Longwy. The Universal Exhibition of 1878 marked the success of Enamels, and of all earthenware creations.
