Many collectors, dealers and researchers have generously assisted in the compilation of this catalogue. Some are acknowledged on individual photographs, others are anonymous. Mention may be made here of some particularly significant contributions;

*  Catherine Webb - researcher, author and studio potter (and a descendant of PPP co-founder David Dee). She generously allowed use of her thesis and original research material. Cath deduced the existence of the two main numbering series years before this catalogue came into being.

*  Gregory Hill - researcher, author, dealer and collector. Many of the shape-book images in the catalogue are taken from Greg's photocopies that he kindly loaned.

*  Shepparton Art Gallery and curator Kirsten Lacy, who granted access to their notable collection and displays of 20th century Australian ceramics. Click logo at right for the gallery's website.

*  Marvin Hurnall - collector, broadcaster, and dealer in Australian antiques and decorative arts. His exhibitions and the recent Australiana Collection auction through Leonard Joel have furnished numerous pictures shown here.

*  Kerry James. Son of principal Remued potter Allan James. Kerry kindly gave access to the Allan & Myrtle James Collection, including pottery from Premier and Kerryl and all the surviving original potter's shape books.

Many others have contributed with their collections and/or knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm, amongst them Stuart Lawson; Paul Mathews; Pat Godden; Geoff Perry; Roy and Auli Maybury; Jeff Gregory, Paul Morgans; Peter Carey, Robert Carey; Ted Angleton who was junior potter at Premier under Allan James from the mid-1940s to early 1950s; Jerome Sin; Andrew van der Horst; Brendan Pitcher; Maria & Stan Koba; Richard Foster & Bella Scharfenstein; Andrea Tilley; John Bastow; Joe Zemitos; Laurie McGregor; Michael West, creator of auspottery.com; Paul Sheedy; Andrew McGowan; Meagan Lane; Brenton Roneberg; Bruce Nichol of Nicholnack art in pottery; Chris Dean; Lynne Cumming; Jeremy Zarifopoulos; Caroline Askew; Terry Boyle; Dorothy Johnston, author of 'The People's Potteries'; Andrew Macdonald; John Fortuna; Terry Cheetham; Robert Bridgman; and the Kerry Stokes Collection, Perth.

A grateful mention is also due to anonymous vendors (or should that be 'pseudonymous'?) on eBay, TradeMe NZ, OZtion and the like whose pictures appear here. If you see your dining room table in the background I do hope that's ok. More to the point perhaps, please contact us if you wish to add a personal attribution or whatever.

Thanks too to those who advised and assisted in the sometimes baffling process of creating a website; John McIver at Temporal Images; Russel Matchan; and Paul Lim.
