[QUOTE="Cherryhill, post: 779034, member: 70"]Funny about "Reversed Amberina". When a piece is on the blowpipe, and is struck, the bottom is where it would be struck. To put the ruby at the top, it would have to be broken from the blowpipe, stuck up on a punty rod, and reheated at the top, reversing the position of the piece. IMHO this pitcher is Ruby Amber, ruby plated inside an amber pitcher, not a struck color. Again, IMHO. Both pieces above exhibit a distinct line between red and amber.
