Incised Remued 5B
5 (Early Series) FOUR SHAPES (?)
Three shapes are recorded with the number 5 and it is speculated that there may have been an earlier unknown shape as well. The situation seems similar to that found with
Early Series 4, and perhaps
Early Series 8 too.
- The numbering system was introduced in 1934 and a number as low as 5 would have been allocated right at the start. The 'missing' shape (if it existed) would probably have been a PPP shape and PPP was discontinued during 1934. If you have an example we'd love to hear from you - contact us.
- The jug is derived from the Early Series 4 vase. Number 4 vases and the number 5 jug are signed Remued not PPP.
- Animal decoration of the sort seen on the dish shape is thought to date from 1935 or later. The animal modelling is attributed to John Castle-Harris who is believed to have been at Premier during 1935 - no earlier.
- The number incised on the 'plump pot' below is anomalous. Other examples of this shape are numbered 402/3, much later in the Early Series, and its glaze points to it too being later.
