We already showed this clock model, signed MP (Michael Powolny) at the XXIV Biennale des Antiquaires in the Grand Palais in Paris 2008. Although Anton Kling is mentioned as designer in the archives at the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, he was presumably the ceramic painter while Michael Powolny was responsible for the design.
