"One thing when you are talking about pink luster that you can see here in the cabinet is there is a variation in color. You would find it the pink variation goes from very clear to very dark right here you can see the luster the pink here with the luster on top. It is a very dark color. When you look at something like this piece here you would see the same pink but a very variation in the color. On top here on the flowers you can see it is very light as oppose to the body which is much darker and you are going to see a variation as you start to pay attention at what you are looking at in pink luster. Here is a cover here you would see a lot more pink with a variation in color and some of these might be ware and some of it might have been in the making of the piece. You can see here this is mostly in the making of the piece rather in the ware. Another example of pink luster here is there is not a lot of line in the pink it is very distinct on pattern with the very nice clean clear shape. You are not seeing as oppose to up here where the color is running to each other between the trees and the house. So those are different ways that you would see pink luster in different shapes so those are 2 examples of color. "
