: This is one of those Early Series numbers that was assigned twice, first to a PPP dish and,

after PPP was discontinued in 1934, to a Remued shape.

Does this shape appear in other series?   No, not in another series, but it is almost identical to Early Series  / PPP 92.

Later Series 70 is somewhat similar.

Dimensions; height 4 - 5 cm, diameter 11 - 13 cm.

The only record is this faint shape-book fragment. The sketch is lost but the page is headed 'Lampstands' and other entries on the same page are known lamp bases.

Height; from shape book, about 24 - 25 cm.

    Nicholnack art in pottery 

Un-numbered, base stamped PPP

Motto; 'Faint heart never won fair lady'

The underside of this dish has a red ochre glaze, similar to the clay colour of original Torquay ware.

    In the style of Torquay motto-ware.

    Bases stamped with the PPP monogram and incised 80

     L-R; "East West, Hame's Best",  "Don't worry it may never happen", "Never say die".

Comparison;  Early Series / PPP 92 (left) with Early Series 80 (same piece as above left)

Of the few examples yet recorded, every 80 has motto-and-cottage decoration and every 92 has colour-patch decoration.
