189 (Early Series) Tall jug, wide throat and mouth.
Does this shape appear in other series? No - (none recorded in image database).
The same body shape minus handle, however, appears with applied animal decoration as
Early Series 36 z.
Height; 19.5 - 21 cm
189
Dated example
Base incised 189 Remued Handmade 1934 (The shape number might originally have been 189 M, the 'M' having been obliterated by grinding.)
This is the highest number yet recorded that shows a date. It demonstrates that the Early Series numbering reached at least as high as 189 during its first year, 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.
