80 (Early Series) TWO SHAPES
: This is one of those Early Series numbers that was assigned twice, first to a PPP dish and,
after PPP was discontinued in 1934, to a Remued shape.
80 (Early Series; PPP) Dish with wavy rim.
Does this shape appear in other series? No, not in another series, but it is almost identical to
Early Series / PPP 92.
Dimensions; height 4 - 5 cm, diameter 11 - 13 cm.
80 (Early Series) Tall lamp base (?)
The only record is this faint shape-book fragment. The sketch is lost but the page is headed 'Lampstands' and other entries on the same page are known lamp bases.
Height; from shape book, about 24 - 25 cm.
Nicholnack art in pottery
Un-numbered, base stamped PPP
Motto; 'Faint heart never won fair lady'
The underside of this dish has a red ochre glaze, similar to the clay colour of original Torquay ware.

L-R; "East West, Hame's Best", "Don't worry it may never happen", "Never say die".
