<p>[QUOTE="TallCakes, post: 103597, member: 107"]yes, purple in this case is damage... as also with many EAPG pieces which have been intentionally turned purple by UV light exposure. This is sometimes called 'sun purpled' since glass containing manganese turns purple when over exposed to the sun's UV rays. It's considered damaged because that color was NOT made by the manufacturer; also the purple coloration can vary greatly depending on extent of UV exposure making for inconsistent results.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
