Through the 70's and 80's the green (as well as other glazes) were "thicker" and gave full coverage. The green of this period is usually an emerald toned shade sometimes with streaks of lighter shades, often bluish highlights and sometimes deep forest green appearing to bleed from the black. The finish on both the green and blue of this period are glossy, but no where near as mirror like as the finishes of the 90's to the end of production. The late glazes are high gloss to the point of looking wet.

1960 - Plum - a deep purplish brown or brownish burgundy with hints of white, turquoise or even lilac in the drip.

1950's - possibly into early 60's Aurora Borealis - shades of lilac, purple and blues in the drip over under glazes of purple, dark blue, black or a very deep olivey green.

Likely late 60's - 71 Noah's Ark Collection - bluish grey with golden brown drip, on wood bases. I believe these were made around the same time as the Georgian Bay collection since the rhino figure is common to both.

1967 - 68 Georgian Bay Collection - light olive green (commonly called avocado) drip over brown. Pieces from this collection are also rarely found in a light blue drip over a caramel under glaze - like the candy stripe but missing the greens.

1968 to 1982 Harvest Gold - possibly as late a 1984.

1969 "New Blue" - catalogues begin to show lines available in green or blue.

1973 to 1980 Granite - deep cobalt blue with white flashes (same color is described as "Cobalt" in the 1982-83 or 1983-84 catalogue).

1965 to 1984 Slate - bluish grey with black drip - matte finish Mocha - light brown with dark brown drip - matte finish Celadon green with brown drip - high gloss finish - is on many of the items that were done in slate & mocha - so far no catalogue of this glaze has turned up. Also called seafoam and jade.

1970 - 1973 Red - sometimes appears to have a hint of yellow drip.

1978 - Autumn Red - catalogue pictures seem to show that there is more brown drip than in the earlier red pieces. Red was a very difficult colour to control during every time it was produced. This provides a wide variety of shadings in red glazed pieces.
