13 (Early Series) TWO SHAPES
The second no. 13 shape may be a re-allocation of the Early Series number after it had became disused with cessation of PPP production in 1934, or it may be part of a separate small 'Animal' numbering series.

Does this shape appear in other series? No - (none recorded in image database), but there are un-numbered examples in larger sizes.

13 B (Early Series) Lamp / Candlestick, wide flaring base, with animal decoration
Does this shape appear in other series? No - (none recorded in image database)
Two sizes are recorded, with suffixes s and L.
They appear to have been intended for use either as candlesticks or as lamp bases. Note the hole for an electric wire. (For another such dual-purpose piece see
Early Series 157.)
It is not clear whether this number represents re-allocation of an Early Series number that had become disused when PPP production ceased in 1934, or is part of a separate little 'Animal' numbering series. It is one of a series of animal-decorated shapes that all feature a wide flaring foot and become narrower upwards. See
