Building Shapes - Orientation
From Linda on 15th January 2008:
Is there a list of all Hazle Ceramics made? Does it give approximate values? I'm getting into this line again... I bought my first pieces at Selfridges when I was visiting London.
Marilyn's 2008 reply was revised in 2011:
Below is a guide to all 86 building shapes to date in the flatback Nation of Shopkeepers range. The term building shape is based on the outline of the model. There is more detail on the Why Shapes? link above.
Building shapes are shown according to the year of issue. End dates generally refer to casting which can continue past the official "retirement" date. Old bisques can also be discovered and painted much later.
All shapes are shown to scale, which is 30 pixels per inch. Depending on your browser you may be able to view pixel info by right clicking on the photo then clicking on Properties. (Actual dimensions are shown with the full size images on A Piece of Britain.)
Ambitiously (!) some building variants are also indicated, such as modelled alterations or additions and/or add-ons such as awnings and post boxes. The Building Variations link above gives more details.
Space only allows for some of often many paintings. The photo is usually listed first. Gold links go to photos and articles on this site. Purple links go to photos and features on A Piece of Britain, either on the main site or in the Archive. Paintings listed in pink lettering have no link.
| LE | = Limited Edition where a shape is numbered | |
| LM | = Limited Mould where a mould variation is numbered | |
| AM | = Altered Mould which is unnumbered or used more than once | |
| LP | = Limited Painting where a painting is numbered | |
| ONP | = Open Numbered Painting eg No 1, No 2 etc with no fixed limit | |
| OE | = Open Edition where a shape and or painting is unnumbered |
Only LE and LM tags are included on this page but further info on LPs and ONPs is on the links.
There is no list of approximate values but this link gives some general info: Retired Values
