Nice, bought an orange Psychedelic there today for a friend... Spotted a red polka dot too but was not sure if that was unusual or not.

Nice finds these. Funnily enough one sold on eBay just yesterday, in the same colour as yours, Keith:

That's about what I'd expect these days. John, most of the Duets will fetch similar prices, but I reckon the blue and yellow ones are the scarcest.Red Polka-dot is the classic pattern IMO, but red is the commonest - but it's a wonderful homage to the handkerchief vase!

Ah, but mine was less than a quarter of that price !

Thanks David, just as well I left the polka dot behind then. I had to pay a bit more for the psychedelic than you did for the duet Keith but still reasonable.

The Psychedelic pattern is a pattern that always captures people's imagination and it sounds like you got it at a good price - but I assume it was tangerine, not black? Psycho is also available on small square trays, which are far less common.

Here's a link to the scarcer blue Duet, which was fairly accurately described (actually 1980s, made by Fiesta Glass Ltd - read the label!) and realised a reasonable £33:
