Hi

Don't think there's anywhere in the UK but Frit & Glas in the Netherlands sell it,here's a direct link:

I've ordered from them and have found delivery times to be just as quick as firms delivering from the UK!

Hope that helps,

Rob.

NOOOOO you are all so cruel!!! Don't lure me into a new glass to try!  :D

It does look a very interesting glass, alot higer COE than normal, plus they do a lead glass version, and it's VERY cool working. I was looking on the US distributors website and some of the tools alone are so lovely, there's a little murini press that puts 6 neat grooves into a rod at a press of a little button..

Better shut up now, I'm talking myself into this one!  :D

Hi,

Sorry, my post is a bit misleading.
I meant I'd shopped at F&G and that their delivery times were comparable with ordering from the UK, but I haven't actually bought any of the Satake glass,although I've got a horrible feeling I'm about to ;) even though I've just blown my budget on buying the new cim colours! ( dreaming of mojito and gun metal ;D )

Rob.


ETA do I win the longest sentence competition?

I've just seen this thread.  I should have a delivery of satake within the next few days, not sure of the costs yet until I see how much customs are charging me  ::)
