Does this shape appear in other series? No, not exactly - (none recorded) although there are lidded pots that are somewhat similar eg

Only one size is recorded but there is evidence for a second size - see below.

An ad from 'Table Talk' magazine, Melbourne, dating from November 1932 which was before shape-numbering or the Remued name were introduced.
The ad mentions two sizes for this honey pot but the only size yet recorded is the one pictured above.

Not only honey; "Take a little jam".
Base stamped PPP.
The motto and cottage are sgraffito, scribed through a slip coating. The technique appears limited to earlier pieces. Here an unfortunate chip reveals the underlying terracotta.
