A Poole pottery 'Studio' squat baluster vase with narrow neck, moulded with cobble stone pattern in green glaze 33cm Further Information Although it states in the catalogue that it is 33cm, the circumferences is actually 40cm, at its widest part the height is 13cm, and the diameter is about 12cm at its widest part. The condition of this lot overall is good. There are one or two minor things which effect the condition. At the very top of the neck of the vase, almost at the rim of the green glaze, it appears as if it has bubbled up then popped, leaving a hole/crater where the glaze should have been. Each hole is relatively small, there are 4 small holes in total. A similar thing has happened further down the vase in one place, leaving another minor hole. Other than the points mentioned, we have not picked up on any other damage. There are no cracks or chips, etc. We have attached additional photos for you to see the damage and make a decision for yourself. Overall, even despite these minor flaws, we would say the condition is good.

A fine and rare William and Mary double-horizontal carved Portland stone and bronze sundial circa 1690 inscribed and constructed for latitude 52° 24’ N., bearing the Arms and motto of the Cornwallis family, signed Henricus Wynne Londini Fecit, the dial plate seated on three bronze bearings upon a Portland stone plinth with octagonal top and four volute supports with acanthus terminals flanking scallop shells, on moulded square base Sundial 69cm.; 27in diameter, plinth 130cm.; 51ins high The double-horizontal sundial, as the name implies, is a dual instrument, its principal features comprising a ‘double’ gnomon and complementary hour-scales on the dial plate. The primary instrument is the fiducial edge of the inclined or sloping part of the gnomon, which, when the sundial is correctly set, lies parallel to the earth’s polar-axis and aligned in the north/south plane of the meridian and the shadow of which indicates the time against the outer hour-scale on the dial plate, in hours and minutes. The secondary instrument is the sharp vertical edge of the triangular-shaped support to the gnomon, which lies in the axis of the observer’s zenith, and the shadow of which indicates the position of the sun at the point where the straight edge of the shadow intersects the hour-line on a planispheric projection of the celestial sphere, corresponding to the time indicated on the main dial. This observation provides various astronomical data, including the sign of the zodiac in which the sun is situated, the times of sunrise and sunset, the length of the day in terms of the number of hours in the day from sunrise to sunset, the altitude and azimuth (direction) of the sun, together with the means to determine the time when certain ‘fixed’ stars would transit the meridian. The Cornwallis double-horizontal sundial has a floreated gnomon, seated on a sheet-brass dial plate, which is affixed to a cast-bronze base by means of ‘hidden’ rivets. The dial plate is engraved with various scales and tables, the primary hour-scale in the outer ring being graduated in hourly, ten-minute, five-minute and one-minute intervals, within which there are inner rings calibrated to indicate direction in terms of azimuth or bearing. The planispheric projection is also engraved with an inner and outer hour-scale, to facilitate its use, being graduated with hour-angle divisions (meridians) and parallels of declination to the limits of 23½ degrees north or south of the celestial equator or equinoctial line. Two engraved arcs, representing the ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun, extend from the points where the 6 o’clock meridians or hour-circles cut the equinoctial and graze the north/south extremities of the projection at the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The signs of the zodiac are inscribed at their respective intervals along these two arcs. At the east/west extremities of the projection there are date-scales, graduated in months and days, whereby the date may be determined from an observation. Conversely, the date being known, the sundial may be readily be orientated and aligned in the meridian, without recourse to the more usual and protracted methods involved in setting up an ordinary common or garden horizontal dial. Other scales engraved on the dial include a semi-circular lunar hour-scale (situated within the arc of the inner hour-scale of the planispheric projection), by which the time may be deduced from an observation of the moon, and two sets of altitude scales, for use with a pair of compasses or dividers. The names of certain fixed stars are inscribed within the boundaries of these scales, together with the values of their respective hour-angles or angular distances measured eastwards of the so-called first point of Aries, the vernal equinox. On the planispheric projection this is the point, at the eastern extremity of the grid system,
