It's most likely Meadow Garden, Poppy, from what I can make out from the book.

thanks Sue,

I'll go with that - it also ID's a little scent bottle from the same range I've been puzzling over

I've got one of the irregular shaped-top oval vases which has a colour combination which does not fit any of the "prescribed" colour combinations. However, the Kyoto colours are very highly specific, so if it's not exactly right for one of the Kyotos, it's some sort of meadow garden.
The piece I have seems to have mostly clear background - covered in lots of patchy clear green bits - (so I'm not even sure if this would be described as a green or a clear background) and it has clear green blue and olovey amber splodges, opaque pale blue patches and pale amethyst "streak£ lines on it. It is fumed and has a black square label. I'm not really very familair with much IoWSG beyond the very early ranges though, and I don't take an interest in pwts.
