145 (Early Series; PPP and Remued) Cylinder vases.
Does this shape appear in other series? Yes, there were various other cylinder vases; for more details
click here. There is also a jug version;
Early Series 172.
No.145 came in a wide range of sizes, more than any other Remued shape. The image database records 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12 and 14 inch varieties. Size was denoted by inch suffixes (no 'L' or 'S').
Most sizes are found both with and without applied decoration. Applied decoration was usually denoted by an 'M' suffix but there are a few decorated examples with the 'M' missing.
The 8 inch variant is known only as PPP. 145 is the highest number yet recorded stamped PPP.
Height; 8 - 10.5 cm. (Despite the inch suffix '3', much the same height as the 4 inch variant.)
145/3
It's not known what was "same as 145/4"
(maybe
Pamela 7), but whatever it was, it bequeathed us these shape-book details.
Height; 34 - 37 cm No 'M' version yet recorded.
145/14
These are amongst the tallest pieces of Remued we have ever seen.
(For the very tallest see Early Series
470/18)
Malvern Antique Market, Armadale Vic
Despite its gumleaf decoration this piece is marked just 145/4
(no 'M').
There are also numerous un-numbered examples.
An example with twig-handle is shown in an illustration in a sales brochure of agents F.R.Barlow & Sons Pty.Ltd.

Base stamped PPP, incised 145/8
This is the highest-numbered PPP piece yet recorded.
PPP cylinder vases came in various sizes but this is the only known straight-sided example that is numbered.
(
Early Series 3 is another PPP cylinder but has a slight flare to the base and lip)
This 8-inch size is missing from the shape book entry below. Shape book 'E' dates from the middle or end of the Early Series period, and by then this earlier variant had disappeared.

Base incised 145/3m Remued 1934
Base inscriptions like this - with a shape-number
and a date - are extremely rare, and of great value in piecing together the history of the Remued range. If you have any Remued piece with such an inscription we'd be delighted to hear from you!

The undecorated 3 &4 inch cylinders differed from larger sizes in that they had a slight flare to the lip. Decorated examples, however, had no flare.
