Odd lots are colours of glass that have come out not as intended (sometimes with spectacular results) or are limited edition. Effetre have some which are now highly sought after as they are in short supply - Vetrofond produce a range of odd lots and CiM call their odd lots "Uniques" but I have never seen any CiM odd lots in real life. Odd lots tend to have a batch number witch is similar to the standard colour that they resemble but with an additional letter or number to identify that they are "odd".

The "no lots" have turned up recently since Quinton visited the Vetrofond factory, the colours don't even have names or batch numbers - I am not sure of the full story there ;D

LOL..

the no-lots are literally glass i pulled from vetrofond's stock room myself, and they are colours or batches which were never made in quantity enough to sell.. these tend to be experimental batches, or the remains of glass made as a one off for a special order..
