Hi Kubur,
I have 3 flasks of this shape and none have a hinged lid. Is this feature from a particular area......maybe Indo/Arab from southern India??

Hi Stu
Could you post their photos?
Personaly I hate Indo Arab, I prefer Spanisho Chinese, It's more precise.

Hi Kubur,
Already posted here http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=19761
but for your benefit here they are again.
Surely you are not serious about the term Indo/Arab This means to collectors exactly what it says "cross cultural India Arabia".
You may prefer Spanisho Chinese but to me that means cross cultural Spanish Chinese which is NOT the origin of these.
