Some Kerryl products after the 'A' Series.
How long the 'A' Series remained in production is uncertain - probably until the early sixties. Kerryl Pottery however continued until 1979. Allan James is said to have been still working on the day he died in 1979.
During the sixties and seventies the public's tastes in pottery changed and the Remued and Remued-like shapes common in the 'A' Series became a thing of the past. This page illustrates just a few of the later products. Most are un-numbered, although early in the period - probably overlapping with the 'A' Series - there were other numbering series prefixed 'M' and 'B'.
'M' Series
Apparently introduced while 'A' Series was still current. In a shape book, 'A'-numbered pieces are followed by the 'M' Series which ranges from M1 to M30.
Curiously, these canisters are inscribed A5, A6 & A7, although their style places them in the 1970s, long after the 'A' Series had ended.
