Two rose tiente pieces. Note the variation in color. The amber atomizer is earlier than the tumbler on the right. The color of the tumbler runs more deep cranberry pink. Since gold was added to make amberina, as the first world war approached and even after the war, gold was used elsewhere in the economies. Thus the glass got less gold and a paler color. This is why most baccarat swirl is pink in the late twenties and into the 40's.
