36 z  (Early Series)   Tall cylindrical vase, flared base.

Does this shape appear in other series?   No, not in other series but a similar shape appears elsewhere in the Early Series as Early Series 7/9z. 
Just this one kookaburra example is recorded and the number seems anomalous, duplicating the other number 36z above  - perhaps a mistake? (Mistakes did happen - see the 'Pitfalls' page)

Height; 23 cm








  Applied kookaburra decoration attributed to John Castle-Harris

36  (Early Series)   THREE SHAPES
: This is one of those Early Series numbers that was assigned twice, first to a PPP shape and subsequently to a Remued shape. In this case, however, a second Remued shape also seems to have acquired the same number. Such a doubling-up was perhaps just a mistake although some strange things did happen with shape numbering when it came to animal-decorated pieces.

36  (Early Series; PPP)   Small bowl with two 'figure 7' handles and three feet.

No numbered example is recorded. Numbering is known from the shape book only.
Does this shape appear in other series?   No - (none recorded).
The same body shape with different handles appears at Early Series 37, and un-numbered.

Height; 6.5 - 7 cm.
36  (Early Series)   Tall vase with spout in lip.

Does this shape appear in other series?   No - not in other series but it is like Early Series 189 which is a jug. This vase has the same body shape including a spout.
In a shape book it is marked "Special" and the few recorded examples all have applied decoration of three-dimensional animals. Animals attributed to John Castle-Harris.

Height;  20 - 22 cm

36 B  Applied koala decoration.
