Perfect condition with no damages or repairs to the porcelain clock case or any of the figurines. The original ceramic dial has a few hairline cracks associated with key winding, and there are a couple of chipped green leaves. The original clock mechanism is absent, it's been replaced by a battery that I'm having replaced. This clock is a great decorative piece and should keep time. Numerous nymphs and cherubs/cupids are emblematic of Arts. This particular clock is extremely rare.  Last time a similar clock was sold at a major auction was in year 2000 at Christie's, it brought over $14,000. I'm asking for a half of that amount which I think is a pretty good deal. Check out Meissen price guide:   http://www.antiqforum.com/meissen_home International buyers are guaranteed no import charges.
