If your EDP...#254 is labeled Moretti then it is probably the old stuff, if it is from Effetre it is probably the newer stuff....or there abouts. Some people never label so....you may never know what you have until you work it up.

Moretti morphing into Effetre is a whole nother can of worms. A lot changed after that.

Then we had another big change when the price of gold and some rare earth minerals and elements in glass color recipes skyrocketed, some rare earths of course when they are gone they are gone and some glass colors as we have known them disappear with them.

They try to recreate using newer recipes but they just do not have the same tonalities or work the same, and we lost our best pinks and lately the changes in emission controls in manufacture in the U.S.A. caused BE to retire some of our favorite colors and probably more is to come...

Here is a link to EDP information and colors. It is like Ghee from CIM ( one of my favorites by the way!) how you work it decides on the colors you get. EDP made it's appearance back when I was on Wetcanvas a lot in early 2003-2005 and EDP showed up around 2001 I think....Link below
