I've only ever been able to get hold of this at Frantz, or occasionally at Moretti and More - sorry Jean, I don't have much more or I'd send you some.  :(

I'd send you some too if I had any left :) you could always see if anyone wanted to do a group order, tho tbh I find you sometimes pay just as much when you've factored everyone's p&p and the dreaded customs!

Jeannie - I think I have some purple (more of a pale amethyst)  I'll fetch it to the flame off for you - I like the clear, but even then I really have to be in the mood for its bad behaviour to put up with it!

Wow, interesting effect.  Thanks for posting Jeannie. :)

If you layer it over a white core it looks pinker, but yes, I would say seeded peach is a far more accurate description!  Considering the lack of a good peach glass out there, even better  ;D
But I still don't like it much  ::)  It's better in Jeans hands methinks.  Gay, if you give me the purple at Flame Off I'll send it on to Jean, I have other bits to collect for her.

I love seeded glass. I'm completely out of both the light and dark amethyst now :( and down to my last couple of rods of white, aqua and topaz. I've got a couple of memorable burns from it too.....

I bought some a while back from Uwe at Glassulger.de (http://www.glassulger.de) in Germany, and I've just had a nosy and he still seems to have a few colours in stock in his Effetre section under Rohrglas.  I love the aqua, but yes it is veeery shocky, as others have said you have to introduce it extremely slowly into the flame.  :o 8) :D

I have a few rods that Sue gave me, I've yet to try them, so thanks for the heads up on the shockiness.

No need Jeanie, will have to check I've still got some, I know I sent some to someone else, will let you know and split it between you and George - but there is probably only a rod to two.  I got it from Jock's glass at the Flame On in Holland year before last.
