The term "stained glass" commonly refers to any colored flat glass or any object made of this glass joined by metal strips. The term originally applied to colored or clear flat glass cut to fit an artist's design, on which details were painted with a brush using glass enamel. The glass pieces were then heated in a kiln or oven to bond and fuse the enamel to the glass surface. This firing made the painted detail as durable and permanent as the glass itself. Most stained glass sundial and religious windows from medieval times until this century were executed in this manner. In our website, we use a broader definition that includes glass colored by any means including inks and non-fired enamels. Etched glass is not stained glass. But we included a separate etched glass section in the Image Archive since they are so similar in function and use. Some sundials have both stained and etched glass pieces in them, making them difficult to classify, so I follow this rule: If most of the sundial is of stained glass, then I put it in the stained glass section, otherwise I classify it as etched glass.

Makers and Designers: unknown. Date of Installation: unknown for sure. Probably made in the 20th century because tower was built in 1908. Original Location: Sundial is on the south side of the Hochzeitsturm (Wedding Tower) at the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, Germany. Orientation: Vertical. Declines south.

The Koi Pond Dial	The Pharmacie Anglaise Dial	The Innsbruck Dial

Designer & Glass Artisan: M. Koehl Date: unknown, probably early 21st century Original Location: unknown. Somewhere in the USA Present Location: unknown Orientation: Horizontal Size: unknown Adornment: Beautiful artistic design of both the face and the gnomon. The gnomon is a stunning mosaic sculpture of a Koi fish jumping out of the sundial face which is a pond with swimming Koi and flowering water lilies. Condition: unknown, but great in this photo Comments: Very nice artwork design! The gnomon, while beautiful, could be considered gnomonically flawed since part of the shadow casting edges are curved and not flat. Without more information, it's impossible to determine if this dial's face is correctly delineated. The numerals on the face might be correct since they are closely spaced around noon and the 6 o'clock numerals line up correctly with the base of the gnomon. This dial might function as a sundial since there are no obvious design errors. I'd like to find out if the mosaic pattern is printed in the mosaic "how to" books and if there are similar twin dials of this pattern being made by others. If so, these dials may not function correctly for their owners if they are at different locations. Inland Craft Website: Here Photo Descriptions: Photo was copied from Inland Craft website.

It features walnut houlines, mahogany diurnal lines, and a rosewood gnomon. The bottom is pine. It's probably used as interior decoration since the wood will not hold up well outside.

Around the W, N and E sides the hour numerals (Arabic), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Note that the dial is laid in a path that runs a few degrees west of north, and the compass points and hour numerals are correctly aligned to true north, hence not central in the design. Mottos: none Inscriptions: on the S of the W side "GMT". On the S of the E side "FOR BST ADD I HR". Along the S side "I [?] WAS COMMISSIONED BY / BURNHAM PARISH COUNCIL / TO CELEBRATE THE MILLENNIUM" Condition: very good Comments: brick, ceramic tile and cobblestone mosaic dial. It is a rather strange design since it uses pebbles and has no gnomon. Presumably you are supposed to use a walking stick for the gnomon!

Mottos: none Condition: excellent in 2007 Comments: Information is courtesy of Giuseppe Ferlenga. The buyer who commissioned the dial wanted it to be completed on Dec. 31 1999 so that it would be the last important sundial of the second millennium. It appears that there is a working weathervane in the center attached to the top of the gnomon with a shaft that connects to the wind direction arrow which is just above a compass rosette on the face.

Designer & Maker: Eduard Farré Date: 1986 Original Location: Lat: 41° 35’ N; Lon: - 2° 07’ E. Plaça Primer de Maig, Sabadell Catolonia Spain Present Location: at original location Orientation: horizontal analemmatic human sundial Size: Ellipse measures 12 x 8 (39 x 26 ft) Adornment: Numbers, inscription and analemma are inlayed brass. Background has large blue stars and other impressionistic artistic designs made from different types of stone inlays. Mottos: none Inscriptions: months on analemma are in the Catalan language. Condition: unknown Comments: This is a large beautiful human interactive sundial that was intended to use the shadow cast by a human to tell time. Unfortunately, it is gnomonically flawed in two ways. It incorrectly has an analemma instead of a straight date line. Also, it’s so large that the user’s shadow is far too short to reach the hour markers. This otherwise beautiful mosaic dial must have cost a lot of money to build so it really is unfortunate that it suffers from these two common analemmatic sundial design errors.

Delineator: unknown Artisan: unknown Date: original construction date is unknown for sure, but was probably in 1973 Original Location: Lat: 54.94609° N; Lon: 20.15158° E. In Svetlogorsk Russia Present Location: at original location Orientation: Horizontal Size: diameter-10 m (33 ft) Adornment: Complex and intricate modern design with the zodiacal signs Mottos: unknown Inscriptions: unknown Condition: An old photo (Photo ‘d’), taken at an unknown date, shows the dial as being nearly destroyed with many of the ceramic tiles missing and crumbling away. Aleksandr Boldyrev says that he saw the dial in 2000 and it was nearly destroyed. He saw it again in 2006 and photographed it (Photo ‘b’). The new photo shows the restored and repaired dial with a new fence around it implying that the dial was restored sometime between 2000 and 2006. Comments: In 1973 a new promenade and staircases with 265 steps were built to the Baltic Sea. The difference in height between bottom and top steps is 35.6 meters. The descent leads directly to the sundial on the promenade. The dial is a colorful puzzle. In its center is a gnomon the shadow of which shows the time. The gnomon is oriented for the Pole Star and is placed at an angle of 55 degrees (the latitude of Svetlogorsk). We need better photos that show the design of the face. And we need more information about this sundial.

Designer: Pjeroo Robjee Construction: Gino Tondat Date: 1984 Original Location: Lat: 50.7°N, Lon: 3.6° E, Municipal Library in Ronse, Belgium Present Location: at original location Orientation: Horizontal Size: The major axis of the elliptical-shaped dial is about 7 m (23 ft). Adornment: The grotesque figures in the mosaic are mostly inspired by the signs of the zodiac: crab near the number VII, scales between X and XI, the virgin at noon, Aquarius between III and V, scorpion next to the VII at right. Quadrupeds (ram, bull, lion, goat?) dwell between IV and V at left, one next to the crab, and at right between VII and VIII. Can't find the archer or twins. Monster at the lower left may be a fish? Contributions are welcome! Mottos: none Condition: unknown Comments: a beautiful glass mosaic analemmatic dial inspired by the Dr. Ovide Decroly School. They consider this object as an educational-didactical concept. Hour points from IV to VIII local time with an analemma drawn around date line with the names of the months alongside written in Latin: JANUARIUS, FEBRUARIUS, MARTIUS, APRILIS, MAIUS, JUNIUS, JULIUS, AUGUSTUS, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. It uses a human standing on the date to cast a shadow that indicates the time. Unfortunately, this is a flawed design since the dial should have a straight date line instead of an analemma. This causes errors in the time readings. Frans Maes Website: Here Gino Tondat Website: Here Stadt Ronse Website: Here Photo Descriptions: I’ve forgotten where this photo came from.

Sundial Delineator: Ian Sells Artwork Designers and Installers: local artists, Claire Gittings & Glen Romanis and a crew of 4 others. Date: unknown Original Location: Lat: 38° 19' 30" S, Lon:144° 19' 45" E. Adjacent to the corner of Esplanade and Darian Road at Fisherman's Beach, Torquay Victoria, Australia Present Location: at original location Orientation: Horizontal Size: width- 4 to 5 m (157 to 196 in) concrete slab- 8 m (314 in) Adornment: elaborate artwork represents a number of traditional dreaming stories of the Wathaurong aboriginal people, including Mindii, the ever watchful Snake and Bunjil, the Eagle, Creator and Overseer. The analemma is the eagle's body. Mottos: none Condition: unknown Comments: Elaborate Analemmatic interactive sundial that uses a person's body for the gnomon. Standing on the date, a human's body casts a shadow that indicates the time. Unfortunately, this is a flawed design since the dial should have a straight date line instead of an analemma.

The Bowls and Plates Dial	The Britwell Dial	The Blue Garden Dial

Delineator: Rob Brown, member of NASS. Tel- 503-724-2497 Ceramic Artist: Julie Brown, wife of Rob Brown Date: unknown Original Location: unknown school in Lake Oswego Oregon, near Portland Oregon, USA Present Location: at original location Orientation: Inclination- vertical, Declination- direct South Size: unknown Adornment: a colorful theme made with all sorts of common household metal hardware, bowls and plates. It has a pretty steel rod gnomon with decorative tip. Very Unique! Inscriptions: none Mottos: none Condition: excellent Comments: This is a most imaginative mosaic dial because the artist incorporated many odd three dimensional objects not usually seen in mosaics. Also, he artist did not want typical hour numerals. Instead she placed small red ceramic tiles into he grouted hour lines. The number of tiles represents the hour numerals for each hour. The gnomon rod was securely placed into a drilled hole in a piece of wood that is hidden underneath the surface. We hope that Julie and Rob Brown collaborate to make more mosaic sundials in the future. The Brown’s Email: Here Photo Descriptions: Photos are by John Carmichael.

Designer: Rob Turner Maker: Gary Drostle, accomplished English painter and mosaic artist. Delineator: Christopher St.J. H. Daniel FSA Date: 2002 Original Location: Lat: 51.5° N; Lon: 0.6° W. Monksfield Park, Britwell in Slough, close to West London England Present Location: at original location Orientation: Horizontal Size: unknown, but large Adornment: the theme is of time, locality and the stars Mottos: unknown Condition: Excellent in these photos taken in 2005. But dial has some graffiti, is soiled by bird droppings, and needs cleaning. Comments: Information is from website below. Slough Borough Council’s Parks and Allotments Section commissioned public art for the park. The aim was to enhance the park through a project that would involve local people in the regeneration of the area. This offered people the opportunity to work with professional artists and to learn new skills as well as provide a focal point for the park. The dial was designed following workshops that Gary and Rob ran with the local school, youth centre and play centre. The young people worked on the theme of time, locality and the stars. The sundial also acts as a bench on its raised platform. There are two dials (L.A.T.) one for the summer and one for the winter. The mosaic was constructed from vitreous glass and ceramic tesserae with a powder coated steel gnomon in the centre.

Designer & Maker: A French lady named Hurfane made it. We don't know the dialist who delineated it. Date: unknown, but the sundial was probably made in the late 20th Century. Original Location: Lat: 48° 19' N, Lon: 1° 6 E. In The Blue Garden at Les Jardins de la Feuilleraie (The Mosaic Gardens) of Happonvilliers, near Chartres, France. Present Location: at original location Orientation: Vertical. Declination is unknown, but it’s not south. Size: unknown Adornment: The traveler represents time, passing irretrievably from future to past. A nearby compass rose confirms that the dial doesn't face due south - its angles had to be modified to allow for this. At its base six panels show different constellations of the night sky." Mottos: present, but not readable in this photo Condition: probably good Comments: Information is from website below. For the past 20 years, Hurfane has been creating a vast mosaic landscape deep in the rolling countryside of the French region of Perche d'Eure et Loir. Her work falls into two main gardens: the pink and the blue gardens. The focus of the blue garden is the sundial." They are open during summer, in the afternoons of Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays, and possibly by appointment. It would be a good idea to check with local tourist information offices.

The Argyle Square Human Height Dial	The Manuel Raspall Dial	A Flawed Mosaic Dial

Delineator: Andrea Tomaselli’s Italian Porphyry group. Commissioned by the City of Melbourne to recognize Italian migration to Australia. Ceramic Artists: Builders 2 Construct and O’Connor & Sons Stonemasons Date: installed in 2005 Original Location: Lat: 37° 48’ 8.78” S, Lon: 144° 57’ 57.19” E. At Argyle Square on Lygon St. in the suburb of Carlton, Melbourne Victoria, Australia. The square is referred to as Carlton's "Piazza Italia" since it seems two Australians went to Italy to study the art of working in this sort of stone and came back and built the square. Present Location: at original location Orientation: horizontal Size: 45 m. x 45 m. (147 ft. x 147 ft.) Adornment: interesting spiral design that draws the eyes to the dial. Inscriptions: unknown Mottos: none Condition: excellent in 2010 Comments: This is a rare interactive type of sundial that uses a human gnomon. The user stands on a height mark that is labled with the user’s height. The shadow of the top of user’s head incates the time. Dial face is made from porphyry cobblestone, and possibly marble and bronze. According to the infolink website below: “The design of the solar clock is the work of Andrea Tomaselli’s Italian Porphyry group and continues their fascination with time pieces and public space. In order to make the 45 m2 solar clock (or sundial) keep the correct time, the stonemasonry had to be exact and so GPS equipment was used to ensure the stone laying was totally precise. All this added an extra layer of complexity and challenge to the job”. The instructions say that the reader should face South towards the city of Melbourne. People may not realise looking south is away from the centre of the dial. People may forget that the sun is to the North in Australia.

Delineator: John L. Carmichael Jr. at Sundial Sculptures in Tucson AZ USA Porcelain Maker: KVO Industries, Inc. - Manufacturers of the World's Finest Porcelain Enamel Signs Owners: Dawn and Mike Razem Date: installed September 2010 Original Location: Lat: 43.2718° N, Lon: 79.9617° W. high up on southerly wall of private brick home at 76 Sundial Crescent, Dundas Ontario Canada L9H 7R8 Present Location: at original location Orientation: Inclination-vertical. Declines 14.73° West of Due South Size: 38” (1 meter) diameter, 2” thick Adornment: a yellow sunface Inscriptions: Wintertime, Sumertime markings Mottos: CARPE DIEM Condition: excellent in 2010 Comments: I designed this sundial for the wall of a beautiful red brick home near Toronto Canada. The home owners ordered it for the wall of their home because their street is named “Sundial Crescent”. They also love sundials. They wanted the sundial to be colorful, durable and maintenance free, so we decided to make the face from colored porcelain that was kiln-fired onto a 3/32” thick 38” diameter steel plate. Porcelain on steel is the most durable sundial face material that allows colors to be used. It will never fade or chip with time. If you want a colorful sundial, nothing beats porcelain for durability, longevity, and colors. The bezel is white powder-coated aluminum. Many old clock faces in Europe are made from porcelain and they are just as pretty now as they were two hundred years ago. The dial has an unusual nodus-based (or point-in-space) gnomon. One easily tells the time and date from looking at the center of the shadow cast by the 7/8” brass ball. The top curved line on the face is the winter solstice. The central angled straight line is the equinox line. And the bottom curved line is the summer solstice. The dial indicates Daylight Saving Time and is corrected for longitude. It includes a Solar Noon Mark at 1:19pm. As far as I know, as of this writing (2010), this is the only porcelain dial in Canada and is the largest porcelain dial in North America.

Delineator, Designer: John Carmichael Artisans: KVO industries laser cut the steel dial face and fired the porcelain onto it. John Carmichael did the stained glasswork, assembled and installed the piece. Date: installed April 14 2006 Original Location: Lat: 38.98° N., Lon: 94.61° W. On a southeastern brick wall of a private home in Leawood Kansas USA (near Kansas City). No public access. Present Location: at original location Orientation: Vertical, Declines 63.312° east of south Size: Dial Face only- 51.9 cm (20.425 in), Entire piece- 85.72 cm (33.751 in) Adornment: A hummingbird native to Kansas is in lower left. The colorful porcelain yellow, blue and orange face design is accented by an opalescent stained glass border of orange and yellow sunrays on a sky blue background. Inscriptions: The face has Daylight Saving and Standard Time hour numerals labeled "Summertime" and "Wintertime" respectively. The latitude, the longitude, the designer's initials, and the design date appear. Mottos: none Condition: excellent in 2009 Comments: At night, the piece functions as an electric decorative wall sconce. The dial is elevated about 6" in front of the brick wall and seems to hover in space. Behind it is a metal sheet light shade cut with "shark teeth" notches aligned with the sunrays so that they shine on the wall behind the dial face, illuminating the stained glass border from behind (see photo below). 15 min marks only appear on two solstice lines and the equinox line for easy reading. The time period only includes the hours when the sun lights the dial. Each color of the sundial face was kiln-fired separately onto laser-cut low carbon 14 gauge steel.

Jacqard 1752-1834, G. Boole 1815-1864, C Babbage 1792-1871, 1993 London” Condition: unknown Comments: No website known that shows this dial. Dial shows the innovative use of binary notation to signify the hours. Jaquard invented a card-programmed weaving loom in the 19th century that could incorporate complex patterns in multiple colors. His card designs and concept became the basis for IBMs punch-card system, many years later. George Boole did pioneering work in binary logic and numbering systems. Charles Babbage created two huge mechanical computational engines. The first, the Difference Engine, was completed and was designed to simplify the creation of tables of trig functions and logarithms. His later work, the Analytical Engine was never really completed, although large sections were built. It was to be a true stored-program general purpose computer- in the 1870's! His "programmer", the mathematician Augusta Ada Lady Lovelace, the daughter of the English poet Lord Byron, was almost equally famous...

Delineator: Simon Wheaton-Smith Maker: Simon Wheaton-Smith Dates: all were made in 2006 Original Locations: Lat: 32° 46’ 52” N, Lon: 108° 16’ 24” W. At private residence at 6th and A Street, Silver City New Mexico, USA Present Locations: all are at original locations Orientations: 372-horizontal; 373-cube dial with four cardinal point vertical dials and one horizontal dial; 374-polar; 375-cardinal points; 376-horizontal; 377-a couple of degrees off the cardinal points Sizes: 372-12 in; 373-8 in cube; 374-8 in x16 in; 375-8” square dial plates; 376-12 in square; 377-5 ft 6 in Adornment: 372-concrete pedestal; 373-colorful faces; 374- concrete block pedestal, glass face, copper border and lines; 375-onb concrete block; 376-on concrete block; 377- on concrete block, glass face, copper border and lines Mottos: 372-“Time and tide wait for gnomon”; 373-“May sunshine fill your hours”; 374-none; 375-none; 376-none; 377-none Inscriptions: 372-longitude & latitude; 373-unknown; 374-none; 375-none; 376-none; 377- on the north face is the equation of time in ceramic Condition: all good in 2007 except 374 which was prematurely fired, and which exploded. What could be saved was, and a new fill in was added Comments: According to Mr. Wheaton-Smith, these dials have a primitive artistic design and are intended to reach the peaceful right brain while still being fairly accurate. They are not intended to be fine works of art, but to generate peaceful moods. Their aesthetic appearance was intended to be more important than their accuracy. 372-a standard horizontal dial, nodus is 2/3 the way along the style, 7 calendar lines, longitude corrected; 373-ceramic stoneware, horizontal, vertical, and two meridian dials all longitude corrected; 374-this dial gets a lot of pleasing comments from passers by. It has the half hours marked, and the solstice and equinoxes, and is longitude corrected; 375-a set of longitude corrected horizontal dials rotated 45 degrees, or, meridian dials rotated. Photo was taken as the mortar was setting before a final stucco coat; 376-a longitude corrected winged azimuth dial of stoneware. It gets a lot of curious comments from passers by who don't understand it, so it tweaks their interest. 377- This is a modern remake in iridescent opalescent glass of an ancient cube dial that Mr. Wheaton-Smith had in England in the 1950s.
