Provenance:
- The reverse marked with a 'Johanneum' inventory number, indicating it was once part of the collection of August the Strong.
The Saxon elector and Polish king Augustus the Strong was a major proponent of porcelain in the early 18th century. His love for the material drove him to imprison a talented young alchemist named Johann Friedrich Böttger in hopes of finding the formula for white porcelain, which at that time was a secret known only in China and Japan.
When Böttger perfected the recipe for porcelain in 1709, Augustus the Strong quickly founded the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory—the first porcelain manufactory in Europe—revolutionizing the porcelain market worldwide. He eventually amassed what is still the largest collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain in the West, and began plans for a palace built to store the royal collection—an ambition that ultimately remained a dream.
The number of Chinese and Japanese porcelain Augustus the Strong collected grew to 29,000 until his death in 1733. Roughly 8000 pieces from his collection are still preserved in Dresden. They are actually the subject of a major cataloguing, digitization, and research project of the Dresden Porcelain Collection, something experts from all over the world are working on. The remaining third can be considered as a representative cross section of the original collection. The other pieces were dispersed throughout the world in many different ways: In the 19th century, when the Porcelain Collection tried to turn itself into a museum of world ceramics, so-called duplicates were sold or given away in exchanges. When Saxony became a republic in 1918, parts of the porcelain collection became public whereas others stayed with the royal family and were partly auctioned. More losses occurred during the Second World War, when the collections were moved to different repositories outside of Dresden and later to Russia, from where the biggest part returned to Dresden in 1958. Today, we can recognize the pieces originally in the collection of Augustus the Strong thanks to their historic inventory numbers. They are treasured objects in public as well as private collections and in the art market.

The grandfather, floor or longcase clock on November 27, 2014, examined by Mrs. Elke Op de Beeck, curator at the Horlogeriemuseum and restorer of antique clocks and watches, and valued at €11.000.
The mechanism can be dated around 1730 and is in working condition.
The dial marked 'Henry Thornton - London'.
Henry Thornton (London, active 1699-1732): apprenticed to Samuel Steevens 6th June 1692. Freedom of the clockmakers's Company 5th February 1699. Baillie notes that he was working from Basing Line in 1723, later moving to Royal Exchange by 1730. He probably died in 1732. Thornton appears to have been a fine but relatively enigmatic maker with relatively few examples of his work surviving. This is probably due to the fact that he seemed to specialize in making clocks for the export, including the Imperial Russian Court: a longcase clock by him playing six tunes in Moscow, Mr. E. Alfred Jones mentions two large chiming clocks bearing his name, one in the Winter Palace at St. Petersburg, and the other in the Troitsa Monastery near Moscow. The collection of the Czar of Russia contained two watches by him, one a repeater with a case of gold, the inner bears the hallmark for 1729/1730, and the outher repousse decoration representing St. Christophoros carrying the infant Jesus. Appears to have had a tie up with the Russian Royal family.
Condition: (UV-checked)
- The work revised in June 2000 and at that moment in working condition. The working condition not checked in 2021.
