That's definitive. The three sizes are 20/25/30cm and production years 1967-1976.

The only red versions of this design that I have seen for sale were in America.

Has any one seen any red ones in Europe?

Interesting point!  I've had different shades of green + blue, but no red or amber so far.

I recently bought a green one off Ebay here in Australia - no idea where they got it.

What an interesting point.

Isn't red glass expensive and hard to handle?

One reason for finding a lot of various colours in this design is its long production period. In the -65 and -67 export catalogues there were less colour options than in those of the 70s. It seems the red items are found in items produced from 1970 on.

It has been documented that "In 1965 the export catalogue gave the following alternatives: clear, brown, lilac, blue, violet, blue-green and blue-grey"

used to have one but sold it.

I wondered if it was a market thing, maybe red was exclusive to the America market for some reason.

Thanks Ivo, do you remember anything about the purchase, retail or flea market, or?

flea of course, I don't DO retail.
and yes it was a long time ago.
On finding the pic, no it was a similar one.... not an identical model.
