The dial was made at Dr John Wall’s Worcester porcelain factory. It is inscribed with the name Josiah Holdship, a partner of John Wall and involved in the invention of printing on porcelain. The dial has a 32-point compass, labelled to NBE etc, and an anticlockwise EOT scale. It uses hour numerals IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, read from the inside, with a noon gap and divided to 30, 15, 5 and single minutes. It is made from soft paste porcelain, hand painted in black and fixed to a metal base.
