PPP tall chamberstick, spiral handle

Un-numbered but catalogued with Early Series / PPP 25
of which it is possibly a variant.


C5 does not fit any known numbering system (although the 'Alphabet' Series does use the number C5).
The glazes here look like Later Series. The shape resembles an un-numbered "Candle stick holder made from large ball" that appears in Later Series shape books near the end; see Later Series 197 for a sketch.
