This example belongs to the “Cercle du Soleil” studio line, a branded production created by Capron in the mid-1970s to designate a series of decorative works issued under his direct supervision. Pieces from this line are characterized by bright, sun-inspired or floral motifs and bear the Cercle du Soleil mark stamped into the ceramic.

The clock features floral decoration, Roman numerals, and an arched architectural form typical of Capron’s Vallauris output. The front bears the printed inscription “Éditée par Roger Capron, céramiste à Vallauris, France”, confirming official studio editing and production. The reverse is stamped Cercle du Soleil.

Fitted with its original battery-powered quartz movement, consistent with Capron’s decorative clocks of this period, and currently in working order. A refined and collectible example of post-war French Vallauris ceramic design.
