Produced by the Holland Mold Company of New York, this striking mid-century ceramic mantel clock embodies the era’s love for sculptural form, vivid glazing, and decorative craftsmanship. Holland Mold was known for creating high-quality ceramic blanks that were later finished by small studios and independent artisans—an American post-war movement where mass production met individual creativity.
This particular example features a flowing Art Deco–revival “waveform” silhouette, finished in a rich emerald glaze with natural mid-century crazing that adds texture and authenticity. The shape feels almost oceanic, curling like a stylized shell or swirl—instantly recognizable as 1950s artistry and perfect as a sculptural décor piece even before you notice the clock.
Inside the ceramic body sits a clean, minimal quartz movement with a character-filled cream dial, stylized numerals, and a classic metal bezel. The clock runs beautifully, and a fresh battery is included, giving you modern reliability housed inside a true vintage ceramic form.
Perfect for mantel styling, bookshelves, entry tables, or a curated mid-century nook, this piece blends functional timekeeping with decorative art pottery. It’s an eye-catching accent for anyone who loves American ceramics, mid-century design history, or the kind of vintage décor that feels discovered, not manufactured.
Details:
– Authentic vintage Holland Mold ceramic (marked)
– Mid-century sculptural swirl / wave design
– Deep emerald green glaze with beautiful natural crazing
– Quartz movement (working)
– Battery included
– Approx. 6.5" tall x 7.5" wide
– Ideal for collectors, decorators, or anyone who loves mid-century art pottery
A joyful reminder of an optimistic era when even a simple clock was treated as sculpture.
