Uranium Glass Duckling

<< < (2/2)

NevB:
Hello KevinH, you're right it could be described as teal green. As I mentioned Walther use "smaragd" for one of their colours which translates as emerald or teal green. I've added a photo to show the "waistline" on the duckling, just up from the bottom. There are a couple of ducks on the 20thcenturyglass.com website with a similar feature in the V. Nason section, in clear blue and amber.

 :) People do percieve colours differently - it depends on the numbers of cones at the back of the individual eyeballs. Women tend to have more than men and thus, generally, see more unique colours.
This has no teal in it, to me. It is green.

NevB:
As I thought there are two definitions of teal, teal green and teal blue. Teal green being green with a hint of blue. As you can see from the new photo from the bottom it is definitely just green. From the side, probably due less thickness of glass and the finish, it does take on very faint blue tinge.
