160   (Later Series)   Baitz jugs and Glasses

Do these shapes appear in other series?  No - (none recorded) although there are other small jugs that are somewhat similar.

According to the shape book there were three sizes of 160 jugs and four different shapes of glasses. Every piece recorded in the image database is un-numbered; no example is known with a number.

Baitz was (and is) a well-known brand of liqueurs.

Three of the four shapes. The glasses on the right are the 'No.1' shape.


This particular page of shape book 'B' is a bit of a mess.
It show three sizes of jugs, numbered 1,2 and 3; and four styles of glasses as in the photos (labelled "cheap"!) with the glasses having been added piecemeal in whatever unused space was available on the page. One of the glasses is designated number 1 but the others have no number on their sketch.


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!
