54 (Early Series, PPP and Remued) Jugs.
This is a shape that began as PPP and continued on as Remued when the PPP name was discontinued in 1934.

This very early shape book shows the plain 54 size as 54/s, however no example marked 54/s is recorded.
In a later shape book (Book 'E') 54/s does not appear.
It can be seen that the 54/8 size here was first written 54/M then overwritten with an '8'.
54/10 is not shown. It appears as 54 L only.
