Title: Does anyone know what this glass is?
Post by: Jolene on June 30, 2011, 09:37:50 PM
As part of my studio tidy up I am cleaning and rebanding/ labelling all of my glass. This one is a mystery - I am almost certain it is some sort of Reichenbach - it's definitely hand pulled and has concentric rings which are alternate rod colour and then a paler version of the rod colour. Anyone got an idea what it is?

I'll have a look on Monday Jo, it's hard to tell in a piccy.  It could be mystic red?

Looks like mystic pink - is the darker colour like a core with the paler colour outside??

It's not mystic red, mystic pink or pink lady as my bundles of those colours are labelled and it looks different from them all. Shockingly I've just found 4 more unlabelled colours in my Reichenback drawer!

It looks transparent? Gold ruby or garnet red?
If it was opaque I would have said multicolour dark from the description of the concentric rings?

That's the puppy Kaz, thanks, it is Garnet red.

In the second pic I though that the second one along might be CiM Bordello (in the wrong drawer) but Bordello is darker. I've just found 5 more Reich colours not labelled too but it's too dark to take pics now.
