Description
-260Euros is an opaque white glass that with different heat treatments can produce lavender veining, a blushed ivory or when reduced can fume to a creamy ivory luster with tiny, gold colored spots.
To strike, the glass must be allowed to cool as much as possible and reheated very gently in the far reaches of the flame for 30 seconds or more.
When reducing, in our experience, a hotter bead produces the “gold flake” effect, while a cool bead develops a more solid luster.

This one has some lovely possibilities! I got the creamy lavendery white by just melting/shaping and leaving out of the flame, a soft honey colour by cooling then wafting through the far reaches of an neutral flame, and a shiny, deeper honey colour by reducing it – that was my favourite shade in it so far. I think I will have some fun with this!
