341  (Early Series)     TWO SHAPES
There is no obvious explanation for this number having two shapes. For the first shape (kangaroo bookends) identification of the incised number is less than 100% certain.

341 (Early Series)    Kangaroo bookends.

Does this shape appear in other series?   No.

Height; 16.5 cm.

It can be seen that these bookends comprise two half-kangaroos. (Both pictures show the same pair, the sole example so far recorded).  A similar treatment of koala bookends appears as Early Series 337.

Attributed to John Castle-Harris.

341 (Early Series)    Fan vase, wavy lip, with foot.

Does this shape appear in other series?   No - (none recorded in image database).
There is some confusion in sizes and suffixes.

The foot may be round, or cut straight-sided or diamond-shaped.

Decorated versions of this shape are recorded signed by Una Deerbon, and by John Castle-Harris, both of whom are known to have frequented Premier Pottery. Some were apparently glazed at Premier, some not.

Height;  9 -  9.5 cm.

Early Series numbering seems to have stalled at about 341. After number 341 a long gap appears.
