[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 281945, member: 154"]Thank you both! I remembered that I had a Van Briggle book, and decided to dig it out - the "Collector's Encyclopedia of Van Briggle" by Sasicki & Fania. It shows numerous examples of all different glazes colors, but doesn't identify a single glaze by name on any of the pieces, only mold numbers, typical markings, and a production date range. The book also has a long written description of the differences in the colors, and how they evolved over the years due to production issues, base clay changes, experimental formulations, etc. But it doesn't have any comparison photos of any of them. No side-by-side of Mulberry vs Persian Rose, or all the different Ming Blue variations, nothing! So frustrating.[/QUOTE]
