Special Comments:

Floradine was made in ruby and autumn leaf. Onyx was made in colors of onyx, bronze and ruby with a white lining. Onyx glass is commonly found with cracks. The glass is unstable and has a tendency to self destruct. Do to this it was a short lived pattern and few pieces have survived, adding to its scarcity.
