Pattern Profile: Burgundy, Ribbon Bouquet (1984)

It seems that Burgundy & Ribbon Bouquet were introduced in 1984.  Grey and burgundy were popular colour trends during the early 1980s.  These patterns were the newest additions to the long line of classic one-colour designs which were grouped together as "The Sunrise Collection" that year.

Bowls, saucers and platters are decorated with a single coloured band.  Burgundy & Ribbon Bouquet were discontinued sometime between 1987 & 1992, but exact ending dates are not known.

Neither pattern included Pyrex ovenware or nesting bowls.  By this time the Compatibles brand name was no longer in use, and in Tabletop Ware, nearly all items had been discontinued the previous year.  An exception was 1410 mugs which were available in both Burgundy & Ribbon Bouquet.

Glassware was made for Ribbon Bouquet with an authentic looking design.  One style, by an unidentified maker, came in two sizes, and these glasses have a slight hour-glass shape, narrowest in the middle and flared top and bottom and the base is flat and thin.
