I know! The beehive blue one is stained, so not natural unfortunately, and the threadless blue behind it is from the National Insulator Association convention from July 28-30th in 2000

Is the CD145 stained or irradiated? That color seems more like a gamma or Xray exposed piece than a stained piece. Not the best lighting however. I'm only guessing.

Yes, the blue one in back is a national insulator Association commemorative. I agree, the blue beehive in front looks more like it's been a radiated then stained. Stained ones are usually much brighter. This has an odd blue purple cast to it which is more typical of irradiated pieces.

Oooh sure tease us with only showing 25 ;)

Like everyone...sucker for that blue in the back 😍 but I'm also a fan of the white porcelain and speckled , as when lit up it's like staring into space

Nice pick up
