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

These three patterns were launched in 1983 within the Livingware 2 product line, alongside Colonial Mist.  They are one-colour designs, and bowls, saucers and oval platters are decorated with a single coloured 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 & 1992, but an exact ending date is not known.
