Pattern Profile: Floral Spray, Oriental Wood, Solitary (1983)

These three patterns were launched in 1983 with the Livingware 2 product line, which also included Colonial Mist.  They are all one-colour designs with a subtle and understated appearance.  The bowls, saucers and oval platters are decorated with only a single band on the rim.  The common feature among the Livingware 2 patterns was the inclusion of a new opal Pyrex cup style with a unique extra-white formulation. 

The final year of production for Oriental Wood was 1985.  Floral Spray was discontinued late 1986 or early 1987.  Solitary was dropped sometime between 1987 and 1992, an exact ending date is not known.
