80 (Early Series) TWO SHAPES

: This is one of those Early Series numbers that was assigned twice, first to a PPP dish and,

after PPP was discontinued in 1934, to a Remued shape.

80 (Early Series; PPP) Dish with wavy rim.

Does this shape appear in other series? No, not in another series, but it is almost identical to Early Series / PPP 92.

Later Series 70 is somewhat similar.

Dimensions; height 4 - 5 cm, diameter 11 - 13 cm.

80 (Early Series) Tall lamp base (?)

The only record is this faint shape-book fragment. The sketch is lost but the page is headed 'Lampstands' and other entries on the same page are known lamp bases.

Height; from shape book, about 24 - 25 cm.

Nicholnack art in pottery

Un-numbered, base stamped PPP

Motto; 'Faint heart never won fair lady'

The underside of this dish has a red ochre glaze, similar to the clay colour of original Torquay ware.

Shape book 'C'

Allan & Myrtle James Collection

Bases stamped with the PPP monogram and incised 80

Left "East West, Hame's Best", right "Don't worry it may never happen".
