The term "Peachblow" is often misused. There are so many victorian era shakers that have a pink fading to white glass and many collectors often call them all peachblow. Most actually fall into the verigated pink or peachbloom catagory.
There are three examples of shakers that I can think of that are recognized as Peachblow and the term Peachblow is part of their name. The shaker on the left is known as Wheeling Peachblow and is a little different from the other two. Its a cased glass piece with a white inner lining and an amber outer layer.
The center piece is New England Peachblow produced by New England Glass Company. The right example is Mt Washington Peachblow and the lower half tends to have a bluish cast rather than white to it.
In terms of rarity, the Wheeling piece is the most commonly found, then the New England piece and by far the rarist is the Mt Washington piece. It you have one of those you have a rarity!
Lovely A-nj. the first ones my favourite
