Summary
A delicate Indian jade bowl carved with petals probably by Morel & Cie, Paris, circa 1840 surmounting the table clock (NT25989.1). The base by Le Roy and the bowl by Morel & Cie probably came together when Antony commissioned the clock in 1878. The bowl is supported by delicate tracery arms with mythical birds on handles. Red stones on tracery.
