with 2½in. lens numbered '274', four oxidised brass draws with threaded adjusting tube between 1 and 2, signed and inscribed around main lens housing Apochromat N2 274. Carl Zeiss, Jena, splash cuff, tapering leather-covered main tube and dust-slide, contained within fitted lined leather tube of issue with securing straps – 13in. (33cm.) long (closed in case)Provenance: Given to vendor in early 1950's by an R.N. Officer who recovered it from Bremerhaven at the close of WWII.Karl Dönitz (1891-1980) succeeded Erich Raeder as Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine on 30th January 1943 and quickly developed the infamous 'wolfpacks' of submarines used to persecute allied convoys. This was met with considerable initial success and allied losses rocketed until new methods of detection - aided by the breaking of naval enigma code - redressed the balance. With Hitler's suicide on April 30th 1945, Dönitz was, briefly, Chancellor of the crumbling Reich until the arrest of the Flensburg Government on 23rd May. Sentenced to ten years imprisonment for war crimes at the Nuremburg Trials, he lived quietly thereafter in a village near Hamburg until his death aged 91. Zeiss confirm that this instrument was made between 1900 and 1906 so may have been given to Dönitz when he was commissioned as an acting sub-lieutenant in 1913. The apochromatic telescope is an improvement on the standard achromatic type by using a secondary lens to align coloured light even more closely; they are generally more compact and far more expensive for the results yielded.

An attractive two-handled 'amphora' vase,Tang dynasty (618-907), the well-potted ovoid body applied with a pair of dragons arching over and descending to bite into the galleried rim on a short, waisted neck, each beast's back applied with three buttons and a mane curling back from between a pair of spiked horns or ears, the compact white ware dipped in a finely crackled clear glaze running down to the widest part of the body, the foot with finely knife-pared edge,27.8cmLiterature: A very similar but taller amphora (standing at 33.3cm), from the collection of Ronald W Longsdorf, was exhibited by Jim Lally in his October 2015 exhibition in which he ascribes the piece to having been produced by the Xing or Gongxian kiln. The Longsdorf amphora was published by Liu, 'A Survey of Chinese Ceramics', Vol. 1, 'Early Wares: Prehistoric to Tenth Century', Taipei, 1991, p.224; Lally also compares this piece with other published pieces:Krahl, 'Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection', Vol. 1, London, 1994, p.137, no. 224; in the Musée Guimet, Paris, illustrated by Paul-David, et. al., 'The World’s Great Collections: Oriental Ceramics', Vol. 7: Musée Guimet, Paris, Tokyo, 1975, no. 21; and in the Turner Collection, now in the Columbia Museum of Art, illustrated in 'Eye to the East: The Turner Collection of Chinese Art', Columbia, 2008, p. 31.This classic Tang Dynasty shape, in both white and sancai-glazed variants, is among that dynasty's most elegant and admired forms, so much so that, one thousand years after the originals, the emperor-collector Yongzheng (r.1723-1735) commanded potters at Jingdezhen to create revivals of the earthenware forerunners in celadon-glazed porcelain.唐 邢窑白瓷双龙盘口尊
