4 (Early Series) SEVERAL SHAPES ?
:
One shape - the ashtray - may be a re-allocation of an Early Series number that had become disused, or it may be part of a separate small 'Animal' numbering series. For the other shapes, however, something peculiar has happened. Although recorded incised 4, the same shapes are known under other Early Series numbers too.
4 (Early Series) Two-cone vase with conic flare
Does this shape appear in other series? No, not in other series, but an example is recorded elsewhere in the Early Series at
Early Series 19s
Height; 12.5 - 13.5 cm
4 (Early Series?) More shapes!
Several pieces with other shapes are also recorded incised
4. All are unsigned but unquestionably from Premier Pottery. Perhaps they are just mistakes (mistakes did happen - click
here ) but given the number of examples, that seems most unlikely. The explanation is unknown.
Small dimpled pot, wide mouth with collar, no flare.
Only one example recorded.
Plump vase, wavy flared lip
Three examples recorded.
Small plump bowl with wide mouth and flared lip.
Matches no known number.
Height; 8 cm. Width of mouth opening 10 cm.
Only one is reported, no picture. Pale green and cream, all-over high gloss.
4 (Early Series) Round ashtray with animal.
Does this shape appear in other series? No - (none recorded)
Diameter; 10 cm.
Nicholnack art in pottery
Un-numbered, signed Remued
It is not clear whether this number represents a re-allocation of an Early Series number that had become disused, or is part of a separate little 'Animal' numbering series. It is one of a series of animal-decorated shapes that all feature a wide flaring foot becoming narrower upwards. See
