Pocket Watch Display Cloche

This decorative item features an antique-style pocket watch suspended within a glass cloche, mounted on a finished wooden base. The watch itself possesses a white enamel or porcelain dial with black Roman numeral hour markers and thin spade-style hands. The housing of the watch appears to be a polished silver-toned metal, likely nickel or silver plate. The cloche is composed of clear glass with a distinctive solid glass orb finial at the apex, which serves as both a handle and a decorative element. The base is crafted from a lathe-turned wood with a warm cherry or mahogany finish, featuring a shallow recessed groove to secure the glass dome. In terms of condition, the glass shows surface dust and minor smudging, while the wooden base appears well-preserved with a smooth luster. The context of 'Myrano' (likely a misspelling of Murano) may suggest the glass components were artisanal, though the overall construction is typical of late 20th-century decorative collectibles designed to mimic Victorian-era curiosities. The craftsmanship is clean, highlighting a fusion of horology and interior decor.
