42 (Early Series) 'Ginger-jar' vases.
There were three size variants; a small 4 inch size (10 cm); a medium 6 inch size (15 cm); and a large 9 inch size (22 cm).
At first, the suffixes used to denote these sizes were S - M - L, with 'M' denoting Medium size not its usual meaning of applied decoration. Then on some examples 'M' is expanded to 'Med'. Later, the suffixes changed to inch numbers, 4 - 6 - 9.
