Which One Is It?

from Rande Bly of Birmingham, AL

We have a “run”of over 10 shapes in a row of this yellow glass. From 5005 to 5016. The first few are called Plain Chinese Yellow and the rest of the stretch are called Plain Yellow. Some people call this Yellow Glass Yellow Jade and some call it Mandarin….. I think we are going to have to back up a little bit and identify what Yellow it really is used in these 10 or more shapes. So…..lets hear some more opinions please.
