CD 152 in Green with Amber Swirls, and a Lapp 1930 Porcelain.

They made a large number in green, but none are-- oddly-- shown on the Hemingray site. Color can be accidental (such as that something got mixed in incorrectly,) or it's what was cheapest at the time-- "Attention all buyers: Such and such has a great deal on green glass!"Mine is likely chromium mixed with tin-oxide and arsenic or iron-oxide. Sulphur or sulphur/titanium is also mixed into the glass, and that makes the amber in it.Lots of odd things were used in glass-making, often slowly killing workers. This one's skirt is also not completely round. My hand hides that in the pic, but it bulges very noticeably. A sunnier day will happen, and I'll try to remember to show that.

Thanks, I've yet to find a complete one in an odd color, except a couple shards, a few years ago. So it's a incorrect chemical formulation. Or the glass maker used old and perishable materials, or surplus compounds out of necessity.

You'll likely find one one day. The Green, as you may have been getting at in an earlier post, could have been made for a specific company if they for some reason ordered it in green.

That's a great $4 find! One of my favorite colors, almost seems chartreuse in these 40's. These green CD152's are found probably all over. Could be accidental coloration, however I've encountered the ambered green Hemi 40 in the wild twice now (broken specimens on poles) on the SAME LINE. It could be the insulator that marks where there is a line drop, or possibly coincidental.

Good luck with finding intact ones. I wish I could find even damaged ones. lol.
