it's got a green/gray tinge to it, quite hard to photo, i will try tomorrow in daylight

Just leafed through the catalogues... no Arctic Blue for this pattern... or Willow, as far as I can see... So Pewter it is, c.1969.

There's a nice group photo of some Pewter glass HERE

Ray, it looks like Ocean Green to me - I have one exactly the same shape and colour - mine is anyway - it has a light greeny tinge to it.

The one piece of Ocean Green I own has a much duller subdued colour to it.

I can only spot this size vase in the 1964. 66 & 69 catalogues.... 1964/66 lists Blue, Green & Ruby, cased in clear... 1969 lists Kingfisher, Pewter Ruby.

Unless I'm missing something glaringly obvious?

No worries Ray. The proper WF colour name is Ocean Green and I'm not saying that's definitely what it is but for comparative purposes here's a link to my vase, which I can now see is a different shape to yours, but the colour looks the same and I've always been under the impression mine is Ocean Green ... but I'm often wrong :oops:

I always thought that this was Ocean Green:

But, as I said, I've only got the one piece... so I'm not exactly an Ocean Green colour expert! :lol:

Ray, vidfletch id'd this as Ocean Green if it helps for colour comparison?
