Jay Strongwater Enamel Crystal Clock with Lizard and Butterfly Motif

Design and Ornamentation

The clock features a green enamel casing embellished with Swarovski crystals. The design incorporates two distinct animal motifs; a butterfly ornament is fixed to the top of the clock frame, while a lizard form wraps around the base of the object.

The metal components are rendered in a gold-tone finish, which defines the bezel surrounding the dial and the structural framework of the enamel casing. The reverse of the clock features a matching rectangular plaque bearing the maker's name and an additional bejeweled gecko lizard.

The dial design is minimalist, showing standard Roman numerals and the maker's signature located centrally on the face.

Dial and Markings

The clock face is contained within a gold-tone circular bezel. The numerals are presented in a black Roman numeral format, which provides visual contrast against the dial background. The Jay Strongwater name is prominently featured on the dial itself.

Additional identification is found on the back of the clock, where a rectangular plaque is mounted. This plaque serves as the primary manufacturer's mark, further associating the clock with the Jay Strongwater label alongside the secondary gecko ornament on the rear surface.

Condition and Dimensions

The clock is measured at 4.75 by 4 by 1.75 inches. It is reported to be in good condition, although the surface exhibits normal wear consistent with the age of the piece.

Regarding its mechanical state, the auction description notes that the clock is sold as untested. Potential purchasers are cautioned that the object may require service, repairs, or replacement parts to function as a timekeeping instrument.
