Spot on, two different blues, the darker being the fabled cobalt blue that was only used for a time after the glassworks was opened (once it ran out it was never replenished).

A variation of this fish vase is that it lacks the trails over the centre of the body.

chopin-liszt:
For comparison, this is a similarly shaped early Fish, but all in teal. No cobalt.

I am only seeing one blue but the different thickness of the glass show a denser version of the same colour.

Hi John, I'm not sure where this info came from? On speaking to Jim Munnelly he states that there were 4 pots when he was there, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Purple and clearish. Would you say there is a difference between the this Colbalt Blue and Dark Blue?

When was Jim Munnelly working there?
