I have to sing happy praises about another color. Their lapis blue is almost as dark as Effetre lapis cobalt, and behaves like a dream. No bubbles, no shockiness...it IS a bit stiffer, like most...

That "Quality" Thing

I had to share an interesting observation. Remember a few pages/weeks back we were talking about the "rocks" in some of the Devardi rods? Well....I placed an order for about 4 pounds of assorted...

I get "product dev" calls occasionally...it's some group doing surveys. I bet it's short for product development or something similar. I'm on the do not call list, but surveys are exempt from that.

I think it's important to note that their site wasn't a big dark secret. Natasha mentioned it early on, and I was supplied the same link in my "thank you for ordering" email from her. The first...

Kalera's quite correct on this. She wasn't in on the initial "inquisition" that was going on, and asked some calm, considered and sensible questions when she started participating. Just sayin. :)

Considering neither of them STARTED the thread, that's absurd. Unless we're going to start a full-blown conspiracy theory now. :roll:

Oh, come on, can you really blame them for not posting anymore, when every time they've said something they're challenged on it??? I certainly can't fault them for backing out out of this witch hunt....

It certainly seems to me that demanding Natasha & Daniel to divulge their suppliers but refusing to reveal this certain "someone" at the same time is blatantly hypocritical. If Kalera did, indeed,...

I suspect that it's going to be a bit slow on a HH, but certainly not impossible. Then again I'm stubborn and made many boro beads on a Minor. ;)

I agree, Rob. Shunning accomplishes nothing good, nothing at all. We have an opportunity here, albeit a very small one, to encourage something positive.

Nope, never labeled as anything other than the usual glass. I swore off Moretti Pea Green for three years before I relented...then I got a batch with bubbles.

I know Pam remembers the P.I.G. glass about as fondly as I do. (Indian glass distributed about 10 years ago.) So far, with the exception of the gray I got, I have to say this is worlds better.

Moretti and Vetrofond have definitely had their share of "substandard". Bubbles in any random color at any random time. "Rocky" rubino (which is really a nice color, once you pick out the rocks)....
