These
336 pieces are believed to have come from the estate of Allan James, the potter responsible for most Remued pottery. After the closure of Premier he produced Kerryl pottery and initially used numbering systems similar to Premier. The numbering series of most interest to Remued collectors is the
'A' Series, but there are also some shape-book sketches of an
'M' Series. One of those sketches -
M30 - looks rather like the pictures above, although no gumnuts appear in the sketch.
No leaf dish marked Kerryl or M30 is recorded.
