What can I say but "WOW"! These two pitchers are a product of the Phoenix
Glass Company. They are an extremely rare color called "Ruby Die-away". The color is shown
in the Phoenix Art Glass book by Lee Marple, and it's called a Heat Sensitive Ruby Die-away.
Hobbs Brockunier patented a Heat Sensitive Blue glass and called it "Bluerina". This Ruby Die-away
is similar. This Blue color Heat Sensitive glass has to be struck at the furace in order to get the Ruby Color.
The opalescent pattern is same one used in "Opalescent Diamonds".
The photos are courtesy of an Oregon Collector. It's great to show these.
