A rare antique terracotta sundial attributed to the Compton Pottery of Guildford. The sundial comprises a putto holding the dial and this is mounted on a Tuscan column.
A Sundial of this type would have been used by garden designers such as Gertrude Jeckyll for her Arts and Crafts style gardens, and would look fabulous in a number of settings.

English, c. 1910.

Notes: The Compton Pottery was a well-regarded pottery specialising in garden pots and ornamentation. They received commissions from well known figures, including Lutyens, and their work was stocked at Liberty and Co. It was founded by Mary Watts in 1900, and they operated until 1956.
