69  (Later Series)     Dutch jugs.

Does this shape appear in other series?  No - (none recorded) although there is a similarity to Early Series 173  and 500 Series 513. There is also a somewhat similar jug with typical Later Series glazes that has no known numbered example (pictured below).

There were three size variants; 69-s, 69-L, and 69-M  (the 'M' here denoting Medium size, not its usual meaning of applied decoration.) They were apparently sold as a set of three. One 69-L jug is recorded with the price pencilled on the base;"Set 3, 29/- "  (ie 29 shillings)

69-L, 69-M, 69-s
       Heights; 69-L 10.6 - 11.5 cm; 69-M 9.3 - 10.4 cm; 69-s  8.4 - 9.1 cm.

These panels both come from shape book 'B'. One is numbered 69, the other comes between the entries for 70 and 71 and shows no number. Dimensions are mostly identical but not all.
It is tempting to suggest that the second panel represents the un-numbered jugs shown below. More likely though, it merely represents a slight change in specifications for Later Series 69.
