I had several much older (Victorian) pieces which were sun-purpled Rosie, but I was surprised to see the Viking suffered from it too. He looks almost permanently embarrassed!

You might find this page of interest: http://www.patternglass.com/sunpurple.htm and if you search the board for sun purple / purpled / purpling there are a few more topics with examples / info.

Just found another blog discussing deliberate sun-purpling too, so am adding that for interest / reference:
