China or Porcelain Clock (Shelf)
A clock with a case made entirely out of pottery or porcelain. The case was usually manufactured by one company and the movement made by another, as in the case of a Royal Bonn (Germany) case with Ansonia (U.S.A.) works. You may find the case manufacturer's mark on the bottom or back of the case, but they are not always marked. View all China Clocks.	enlarge

Column, Column & Splat, Transitional, Looking-Glass, Triple Decker (Shelf)
All these terms refer to similar, but distinct, Empire-influenced styles of American shelf clocks developed in the early 1800's. The basic form has a rectangular case with a door in front flanked by two often gilded or ebonized columns. The door has a clear glass panel in the top section and a reverse-painted glass or mirrored ("looking glass") bottom section. Variations include cases with a decorative splat above the dial ("column and splat" or "transitional"), and ones with a 3-section front which might include a painting and a mirror ("triple decker").

Crystal Regulator (Four Glass Regulator) (Shelf)
A shelf clock dating from the 19th century, generally an upright rectangular, with glass panels on each side, completely exposing the interior. Originally, crystal regulators had extremely accurate movements with a compensated pendulum consisting of two small glass vials filled with mercury. With the rise in popularity of these clocks, American and German companies produced cheaper, less accurate clocks in the same sty;le, but with imitation mercury pendulums which were really just polished metal cylinders.
