See p. 19 of Frederick Carder, and his Steuben Glass 1903-1933 by Rockwell for same coloration.

See same coloration with different pattern in Fig. 8.24, p. 197 in Dimitroff’s, Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass. “Some acid-etched pieces have a secondary pattern etched in the background. These double-etched pieces are very desirable and are correspondingly higher in value.” P. 250 of Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Thomas P. Dimitroff At p. 256, Carder’s deep, brilliant cut pieces are just plain rare in any shape or in any color. (Referring to cut glass, but probably as well to acb).
