Kingfisher colour?
« on: April 01, 2009, 06:13:42 PM »
...or am i barking up the wrong vase?  ::)  ;D

It's a bit more green than what the photo shows...

I've shown a Mdina and a Lemington on either side just to give you the idea of what colour it is.

I think it's Kingfisher but thought i'd just check, the aqua bark vase is in FLC, am I right?

Cheers.

Assuming it is the one in the middle you are questioning, it is a Kingfisher bark vase (Whitefriars), clear cased so not FLC.  No Aqua vase is clear cased, always FLC.

Cheers, for some reason i thought the Kingfisher blue colour was just pure blue rather than a mix of the two colour's (blue and green). Silly me.  ;D

No Aqua vase is clear cased... Got it.  :thup:

There's another one called 'Aquamarine' which is cased with different colours, is it the exact same colour as Aqua FLC?

Aquamarine was a combination of blue and green and the vases made in this colourway were cased in clear and very pale and "watery"  in comparison to FLC Aqua.  I don't know if the same chemical formulae was used for the colour, but the general "tone" is very similar. I have not got a photo of a vase in Aquamarine ( very rare they are) but here are a couple in FLC Aqua -  as you can see the colour anyway appears deeper on one because of the thickness of the glass ( but I am sure you can see the difference between Kngfisher and Aqua now)

I do see the difference now, but if you compare mine with this kingfisher one....

...my vase has more green in it, maybe it's just the light. :-\

Your photo link doesn't work for me!  But in any event these blues and greens Aqua's etc. are notoriously difficult to picture to get accurate colours.  I have one green vase, which always looks blue in a photo no matter what I do.
