165 (Later Series) Baitz liqueur flask with handle, long neck and stopper.

Does this shape appear in other series? No, but there are un-numbered examples stamped to base Baitz Exclusive Liqueur.

It is believed these were sold in a matched set with small glasses. Various shapes of glasses are recorded, none of them numbered individually. See Later Series 160.

Height; 14 - 15 cm without stopper, 16 - 17 cm including stopper.

Bases incised 165

'Pirate head' stoppers, thought to have been fitted to some flasks as originally sold. Ceramic, but not by Premier, possibly Japanese.

Shape book 'A'

Just what the 'barbeque plate' is doing here is unclear.

A shallower version of Later Series 170.

(The mystery doesn't end there either.

At this point in the Later Series shape books, seven shapes numbered 500 - 506 are inserted, between nos.165 and 166.)
