If the colours are white, red and green then the colour code is 261.
You are right, it is a stunning colour scheme.

yeah I seen that colour code on ysart glass but thought mines looked a lot darker on the red/browns, also noted that it mentions that it has also been seen with bubbles so I was thinking that would be same as mines . if so I take it the code would have a letter after it since 261 doesn't have bubbles, so may be 261A or something like that

Colour code 261 does have all over bubble inclusions, I have two images of Monart pieces with full labels with the colour code 261 (white, red and green with all over bubble inclusion).
I cannot reproduce them here due to copyright, but will send them to you Gary if you want to see them.
This is not intended as any slight on Frank's site, but the colour code section requires a bit of an update.
