87 (Early Series) Large mug.
Does this shape appear in other series? Can't tell - no example recorded.
Known only from these shape book entries.
Height; from shape book 'C', 10 - 11 cm.
Shape book 'C'
"Mugs to hold 3/4 of a Pint" (450 ml)
Shape book 'PPP'
Early Series 87 appears in two shape books and they show slightly differing shapes. Both books are believed to be very early, dating from 1934, the year numbering began. The book on the left came before that on the right, however, with PPP shapes.
We can only speculate as to what the very first entry represented. "2 handles", 2 altered to 1, then all crossed out. Does anybody have a two-handled piece numbered
87? - or any piece at all? - please
