This is a Zsolnay Cobalt Blue Gilt Porcelain Plate Mantel Clock in Rococo floral style, made in 1980 and kept in near mint condition. The deep cobalt rim carries delicate gold scrolls around a clean white dial. Bold Arabic numerals and ornate black hands make it easy to read, while a red sweep second adds a lively touch. The scalloped edge and subtle gilding catch the light, and the clock rests on a small gilt stand ideal for a mantel or sideboard. A quiet, battery‑powered quartz movement sits behind the plate, and the decoration looks crisp with minimal signs of handling.

Zsolnay, founded in 1853 in Pécs, Hungary, is loved for refined porcelain, rich cobalt palettes, and hand‑applied gold. The company’s five‑tower backstamp is its signature, and late‑century exports like these plate clocks mix traditional decoration with reliable quartz works for everyday use. Rococo revival motifs and gilt accents were often screen‑printed then finished by hand, sometimes with real gold. Collectors look for sharp gilding, clean transfers, a sturdy stand, and a clear factory mark. Care is simple: dust with a soft cloth, avoid abrasives and soaking, and keep it out of harsh sunlight to preserve the blue and gold.

This beautiful piece you’re looking at is a Paradi Crystal Glass Hand Made Flower from around 1980. It stands about 12 inches tall and measures roughly 4 inches wide and across. Made entirely of glass, its craftsmanship really shows off the care and attention given to each petal and curve. The blue hues catch the light in a striking way, making it a real eye-catcher for any shelf or display case. With its age—now over 40 years old—it’s already considered vintage and is in near mint condition, which is pretty rare for something so delicate. You can really see the Art Deco influence in the elegant shape and flowing lines, making it both a decorative item and a work of art.

Paradi Crystal is known for their unique and artistic approach to glassmaking. Their hand-crafted pieces are loved by collectors and vintage enthusiasts because of the high quality and the fact each piece is slightly different from another—no two flowers are exactly alike. During the 1980s, they gained a reputation for blending traditional techniques with Art Deco-inspired looks, giving their work a timeless appeal. Since these glass flowers are no longer made the same way and have survived so many years, they’re becoming harder to find, especially those that look like they just left the workshop. If you enjoy collecting something with both beauty and a bit of history, a Paradi Crystal Glass flower from this line makes a wonderful addition.
