This is a stylish & attractive ceramic mantel clock in our unique Art Deco inspired Marconi 2 design. This clock has been hand glazed in a combination of our own Paris white glaze with hand decorated red & black glaze detail which just screams out 1920's Jazz Age & complements the geometric design of this time piece very well. The hour & minute hands are finished in a black metal. The inspiration for this stylish mantel clock comes from the Italian pioneer of radio, Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi's work in the development of wireless radio was quite literally a quantum leap in the field of human communication, contributing greatly to the advancement of the modern world. The design of the Marconi 2 shows the first experimental radio waves being transmitting across the Atlantic in 1901. The three curved lines in the middle of the clock symbolise radio signals radiating outwards from the V shape transmitter into space. By the 1920's wireless radio was regularly being broadcast into millions of homes & providing entertainment in a completely new way.
