IN 1923 a version was printed in pink especially for the markets in the United States and this was color still in production in 2001, possibly later. It was also popular in Germany.
Between about 1962 and 1973 the pattern was produced in a Light Blue but was not particularly, successful.
  
The pattern has been produced in many, many versions over the years. Blue and pink remained the most popular versions but it is known in brown and green, in plain printed versions as well as with hand enameling and sometimes with the addition of gilding. The date of the introduction of these other colors is not known.
