Another Kerryl 'A' Series?

A few Kerryl pieces are recorded with 'A' numbers that are not part of the original 'A' Series. Their style places them later, from the 1970s. All display the Kerryl name (something seldom seen in the original 'A' Series) and most feature a contrast of coloured glaze and bare terracotta. They look nothing like the 'A' Series shape-book sketches and no documentation of any sort is known for them.

Do you have an example that could belong to this little-known series? - we'd love to hear from you. Contact us.

Un-numbered examples ??
The painted decoration is the same as seen on one of the A26 examples above.
The base of the teapot is incised Kerryl, followed by something illegible - an 'A' number perhaps?
The others have no number. The coffee pot is signed A James and is very similar to A9 although its pouring lip is different.
The carafe base is unmarked. It has a seam, implying that (surprisingly) the carafe is moulded not wheel-thrown.

Heights; teapot 12cm; coffee pot 21 cm; carafe 22cm.
