Early Series 219 is also an ashtray and cigarette holder. The 55 ashtray resembles the 219 ashtray. The pieces pictured at right resemble the 219 holder but have typical Later Series glazes and a later-pattern sticker (no 'Australia'). It is therefore tempting to identify them as the elusive Later Series 55 'holder'.




Cigarette grooves in different arrangements.
Un-numbered, unsigned. Height; 4.5 cm.
