Description: | The white enamel face of this early 19th century watch was made in Bilston. The skill of the enameller in miniature painting can be seen in the tiny rustic scene worked in enamel colours. The watch was made by Edward Glase of Bridgnorth in Shropshire and has a verge escapement, while the silver pair case is stamped with the Birmingham assay mark for 1808.
