We have lots of colors of blue. First, from Rande Bly of Birmingham, Alabama

I am so sorry I forgot to tell all of you something. When taking the naked ladies into the back yard and holding them skyward like an idol to the sun god…..be sure to not let the neighbors see you. I would hate to be the one responsible for that. P.s. the Chicago land blue ladies from Neil Unger….very funny!

Next, more serious comment on blues from June Riccio of Alamo, California

I am forwarding a pix of my 6031 vase in what I call “Peacock Blue Jade” for want of the “true” name, To me, the base color seems to be Celeste Blue, a teal blue rather than a cobalt blue. I am also including two other items, a small powder jar which I believe is Powder Blue Jade. It is Flint white with overlay in light blue [no teal] and another overlay of clear, with the blue threads applied on top of that. The 2687 vase appears to be a medium blue jade that is Celeste Blue over Flint White.

Hope this helps everyone.
