Does this shape appear in other series?  Yes it certainly does - in every preceding series; Early Series 194 and 500 Series 501 and Later Series 1. 

Curiously it also appears again in the 'A' Series as A116.

Five sizes are recorded, approximating to 4, 6, 8 10 and 12 inches.

Base incised A89-8/4 but subsequently corrected by rubber-stamped A89-8/5 denoting a different glaze. 

( /4 denotes a mottled glaze as seen on some other pieces here.)

       Height; 23 cm.

The handle on this piece has a right-handed twist, unlike most Kerryl and Remued baskets which have a left-handed twist.

Base incised A89-8/6

       Height; 27 cm.

Base incised A89-4

The shape book has no sketch, just a note "as old 1-4" (ie same as Later Series shape no. 1, size 4 inches). It appears that this was the first size, initially numbered just A89, then when other sizes were introduced with inch suffixes it became A89-4.

Note however, the distinction beween eg A89/4 (A89 with glaze type 4) and A89-4 (A89, size 4 inches)

Base rubber-stamped (not incised) A89-10/4

In 'A' Series numbering, a numeral after a dash denotes the size in inches.

A numeral after a slash denotes the glaze style.
