CIM stands for Creation Is Messy. They are suppliers of glass which hs a CoE of 104 and is compatible with Effetre, Vetrofond, Lauscha and the other 104 glasses. The messy colour pallettes are being extended regularly with new shades. They also produce a range of CoE 96 glass called Messy 96. Messy colour 104 and Messy 96 are not compatible.

Occasionally CiM produce a pull of glass that does conform exactly to their colour specifications or one that is created for a test run. These occasional odd lots of glass are labled as "Messy Uniques" and are sold exclusively by Frantz art glass and associated sellers in the U.S.A.

Creation in Messy 104 colours and stock numbers

Information on the working properties of CiM glass is a current research project by members of the Frit-Happens community in the form of a prize competition Frit-Happens CiM Competition Thread The information below has been collated by kitzbitz art glass and is intended as a guide only.
