This is one of my favorite etches and the color is superb. This is Cambridge etch number 704, which glass author Gene Florence nicknamed Windows Border. The border has little clear ovals that look a bit like windows. The main part of the design is the swirled swagged paisley like design that goes around the midriff of the cup.
The color is Cambridge's amber, which is a rich shade of gold with a touch of red It is not quite right in this photo; the background was gray and you can see it is slightly on the blue side.
This is a superb cup and saucer set. We have it listed on both our TIAS and eBay stores.
