I don`t see enough of these H.G. beehives to be sure of the color ID, but it is a beautiful shade of blue. Maybe a light cornflower or sky blue. The embossing is H. G. CO. over I and PETTICOAT on the reverse side. There are just two small flakes along the edge of the base on the Petticoat side. Just a fantastic looking insulator. $75 delivered anywhere in the U.S.
