Cambridge Aurora Carmen Stem (2)I think the Cobalt pieces are still my favourite.  I love the rich, red blue.  However I find all of Cambridge’s colours that I have seen ‘live’ to cambridge-aurora-amethystbe very attractive.  I think I have already posted the pieces in the red separately, but thought I’d put these all together for comparison.

Here are the 4 1/4 inch cocktail glasses in Carmen (red) and Amethyst (purple). Also pretty.

Cambridge Aurora Water Goblet (1)I am enjoying the start to the New Year in sunny, beautiful Jamaica.  While I have seen my share of stemware,  none of it has been old!

But this pretty piece fits the bill.  While I never did acquire a water goblet in all of the produced colours, I picked up three of these glasses some time ago.  I looked through my book in Cambridge’s colours and think that this is their Forest Green.   A very rich shade.

Cambridge AuroraI have been ignoring my blog – shame on me.  It’s not as if I don’t have some things to show off, just been busy!

Isn’t this gorgeous????  I almost bought three of these pieces in Cambridge, Mass. I was sorry that I hadn’t bought them, so I have been looking out for them since.

The photo doesn’t show the colour to its fullest richness.  This is a beautiful, deep blue.

This pattern, 1066, was also made in clear, red, amethyst, moonlight blue, gold and green.  I like the blue the best, but it occurs to me that a set with one of each colour would be attractive too!
