42 (Early Series) 'Ginger-jar' vases.
:
There were three size variants; a small 4 inch size (10 cm); a medium 6 inch size (15 cm); and a large 9 inch size (22 cm). The suffixes used to denote these sizes were initially S - M - L. with 'M' denoting Medium size not its usual meaning of applied decoration. On some examples 'M' is expanded to 'Med'. Later, the size suffixes changed to inch numbers.
