PUCE

[glass man]

I have always had a hard time getting a handle on what the color of a bottle PUCE is...have a better idea since I have seen RICK'S EAGLE FLASK..though it looks like light pink to me...I used to think puce was used by people for any bottle that they didn't know the color of... "NEVER SEEN THIS COLOR..WHAT IS IT"? "PUCE" though it would appear to be a green shade..amber..whatever ![] JAMIE

here is a bottle Earlyglass (mike George) has on ebay right now. he has it called puce:

Its a reddish/pink/brown

Puce is the French word for flea. The color is said to be the color of the bloodstains remaining on linen or bedsheets, even after being laundered, from a flea's droppings or after a flea has been killed.
FROM and wikipedia is always correct.
In this case I kind of agree.

Lots 134 and 137 in American Glass Gallery's current auction are good examples of it to my eyes. Seems that most folks find it tough to photograph, because the the pink/red tones seems to disappear. Of course, Rick has it down to a fine art. Ought to be giving photography lessons.[]

I always thought that puce was a ugly sounding word...after learning of it's origins I really don't like the sound of it.
