A selection of shapes that don't fit readily into other listed categories. Some are numbered, some not.

Surviving fragments of early shape books indicate that there were more types of articles than are pictured here, including plaques; bird dishes; flower pots; teapots, and more.

Un-numbered. Dimensions; length 25 - 26 cm, height 5.5 - 5.8 cm.  Canoe vases were a popular item for Australian potteries in the 1940s & 50s but Premier's approach to them seems to have been tentative. These are the only recorded examples.

Both bases unsigned.

Un-numbered, base incised Remued

Height; 11 cm

Nothing is known about this decorated goblet but the glazes and unconfirmed anecdotal evidence suggest that it is post-war. Only one example is recorded. The origin of the figure - a fisherman (or fisher-boy?) riding a big fish - is unknown although it has been suggested it derives from a childrens' book illustration.

Nothing is known about the artists or history of these figurines. They are quite unlike anything else in the known ranges of Premier or Kerryl.

These four are the only recorded examples.

Although this looks like a candlestick, its hole is not parallel-sided but widens toward the base, so a toothpick holder seems more likely.

Height; 21 cm.

Height; 13.5 cm.

Height; 14 cm.

Base unmarked.

Base incised Remued. 

Height; 10 cm (left); 8.5 cm (right). No bottom opening - in true 'piggy-bank' style these moneyboxes must be smashed to extract the contents.

Height;  14 cm. This one does have a bottom opening.

It is tempting to speculate that the model for these figurines may have been none other than Reg Hawkins (pictured), co-owner of Premier Pottery and the painter of PPP decoration. There is certainly a resemblance.

Height 21 cm. Blind spout.
