114  (Early Series)    Barrel vases.

Does this shape appear in other series?  Yes -  Later Series 64.  There are also early un-numbered examples.

There were three numbered size variants;  114/6 (6 inch size, 15 cm); 114/8 ( 8 inch, 20 cm): and 114/10 (10 inch, 25 cm). The suffixes used to denote sizes appears to have changed during the Early Series years - one example is recorded marked 114 M where the 'M' appears to denote size, not applied gumleaves as usual.

The mark on this piece is 114 M unlike the inch suffixes seen on other pieces.
The 'M' here does not denote gumleaves. Presumably it belongs to an earlier set of size suffixes, Small-Medium-Large.
