114 (Early Series) Barrel vases.
:
Does this shape appear in other series? Yes -
Later Series 64. There are also early un-numbered examples.
There were three numbered size variants; 114/6 (6 inch size, 15 cm); 114/8 ( 8 inch, 20 cm): and 114/10 (10 inch, 25 cm). Suffixes used to denote sizes changed, however, during the Early Series years - see below.
114 & 114 M
Height; 15 - 17 cm
It is thought that these pieces pre-date the use of inch suffixes. It seems likely that the first numbered examples were made in this single size only and numbered just 114, then subsequently S-M-L (small-medium-large) were briefly used but to date only 'M' is recorded. The 'M' here denotes size, not gumleaf decoration as it usually does.

Un-numbered, height 32 cm. Taller than any recorded numbered barrel.
Base incised "Margaret Kerr, Melbourne"
This piece was received as a 21st birthday present in 1937 so it was probably made in 1936-37
