A couple new acquisitions. 

Does the Conqueror have a transparent green base or is there green somewhere in there that makes it look that way?

Clear base , that green patch really throws its color

It's part of what makes glass so cool and Art Fisher was a master at using a tiny bit of color somewhere to make a clear base look colored.

The glass on some of those Conquerors is sooooo clear ..I have just acquired a few with those bright colors .. in hand they definitely pop ..

There are some old DuaLites that are basically just a white patch on clear but there is just a touch, and I mean a tiny bit, of color on the bottom side of the patch and it makes it look like the base is colored. I think I've seen 3-4 different colored ones. I think it was a genius way to save money since, of course, the colored transparent glass would be more expensive to produce than clear.

This type needs to have blue and green ? What is the parameters for an aquamarine 🤔

They look nice 🤤

There is some variation, of course, but generally they have aqua (from aqua blue to aqua green) with red (from brighter red to sorta burnt red to Vitro oxblood) and brown (from creamy brown/tan to dark brown)  on a white base, and usually the more/darker brown the better. Those that lack brown are called Aquamilks. Sorta tough to describe in words but here is a group of Aquamarine variants to look at. The one just left of center in the middle row is closer to an Aquamilk (more white and a more buttery color rather than brown).

Very nice 

Thank you Ric 👍

Aquamarine with Vitro oxblood?  I believe my first Vitro oxblood example in hand 👍

I love 'em too. That's a great assortment and nice display. You must have a lot of patience to organize them so neatly.

Oh. My. Gawd! I'm trying not to be envious, but I'M SO ENVIOUS! Amazing!

Here is a very “minty” Vitro with a nice band of Oxblood. 
You just never know where the Ox will show up do you?
 I will just call it a “Conqueror” with oxblood.
Very cool—@11/16”.
Marble—On!!

The size makes it a parakeet. Parrots are typically 7/8” or so.

nice score!
