160   (Later Series)   Baitz jugs and Glasses

Does this shape appear in other series?  No - (none recorded) although there are other small jugs that are somewhat similar.

Baitz was (and is) a well-known brand of liqueurs. Examples of Later Series 165, a  liqueur flask with stopper, are also found  stamped to base 'Baitz Exclusive Liqueur'. That flask - with liqueur - is believed to have been sold as a set with matching glasses.
Glasses recorded in the image database are all un-numbered.

Allan & Myrtle James Collection

This particular page of shape book 'B' is a bit of a mess. Later Series 160 is a jug, in different sizes. The glasses have been added piecemeal in whatever unused space was available on the page. The shape books show three sizes of jugs, numbered 1,2 and 3; and four styles of glasses (labelled "cheap"!).

The table headed "Turning" shows hourly rates of production. Allan James reckoned on throwing 48 jugs per hour, by hand, just 1 minute and 12 seconds per jug.
