Shape book 'A' (back)
A99 & A100  ('A' Series / Kerryl)    URNS, and OTHER SHAPES
The shape book becomes confusing at this point. One sketch shows a handled urn but it is unclear whether it belongs under A99 or A100.  Urns are found with either number (perhaps as a result of the confusing shape book entry?)
As well, each number has another shape. These other shapes are listed first below, and are not yet known from examples.

Bases marked Kerryl Melbourne.
A99 & A100  ('A' Series / Kerryl)    Campana-shaped urns.
       SLIP CAST

Does this shape appear in other series?  No, although Kerryl did produce other urn shapes in later years, not numbered.

Three sizes are recorded, with inch suffixes -4 and -6, plus a larger one with no inch suffix. The larger one
is recorded as both A99H and A100.

A99 H & A100 
Large urn with two handles. Height; 23 - 25  cm.
The shape-book entry above clearly shows such an urn. It is sketched in the A100 panel but perhaps misleadingly. Of the few numbered urns recorded most are numbered A99. That was probably the intended number, with the sketch being merely placed in the nearest convenient blank space. Whatever the explanation, an example is also recorded numbered A100 not A99. Perhaps the person who incised the numbers consulted the shape book and was understandably confused by what he found there.


A99    Large fan vase.

Does this shape appear in other series?  Yes, probably - Later Series 57-L is similar although A99 appears to have a more prominent foot; a larger version of A87 perhaps.

Known only from this shape-book sketch. No example is recorded.

Height; from shape book, about 28 cm.

A99-4
       Height; 9 cm.

Does this shape appear in other series?  Yes -  Early Series 193 L and Later Series 28 .
Known only from this shape-book sketch. No example is recorded in the image database.

Height; about 12.5 cm.

The double page from which this image comes is headed
"SPRAYED WHITE STIPPLE WARE - GLAZED"

A100    Wall vase
               SLIP CAST
Does this shape appear in other series?  No.
Known only from this crossed-out shape-book sketch. No example is recorded.
Height; not known.



The wall vase is crossed out, and a new A100 panel appears on the following page with no reference to the urn shape. Is the urn sketch here meant to be part of A99? (but  drawn in the biggest available space)  - or A100?


The suffix 'H' is for Handle. A few Remued Later Series pieces display this suffix.This is its only recorded use in the 'A' Series.
