This Article is dedicated to Helaine Fendelman’s request. I have a number of back yard tricks.

Back Yard Tricks

I will start with the question to spark participation and follow up with the answer later. I really miss the the interaction in the Gazette we had ten years ago. Let’s come together to breathe in some new life. Please respond with answers, comments, and even better a guess. Pictures are great. We all love pretty pictures of others pieces.

Questions: How do you conclusively tell the difference between Persian Blue and French Blue? How do you conclusively tell the difference between Persian Blue and Celeste Blue? Also can anyone actually see the difference in colors good enough to spot them in a photograph? What differences do you see? If you have a piece in these colors you need identified please post it. Please take a moment to respond.

Being a fan of both, I very much enjoyed the article on features of the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles. Thank you for sharing. Debra Knickerbocker
