Hi everyone,
I bought a bunch of glass from someone who quit lampworking, unfortunately any of it that is labeled has lost the ink to ravages of time. I've sorted through the opaques and most of the transparents, but some of it is Double Helix and/or some other reactive glasses.
Is there a chart somewhere handy I can compare these to?
I'm looking at both the transmissive color (shining my iPhone flashlight through them), as well as how they melt in a neutral and a reducing flame. I've been able to separate the majority of them into separate piles, a few of which I recognize from similarity to rods I own (DH Gaia and Elektra.) But most of them I have NO idea what they are
ALSO, I have a couple huge rods Double Helix glass that were gifted to me quite a number of years ago. They're each about 20 inches long and close to half inch diameter, weighing almost a quarter pound each. One is Terranova 2, the other is Triton. I was told when I was gifted them (by Lewis Wilson) that they were maybe first runs or at least early runs. Anyways, I use such small amount of DH glass as accents that I'm sure I'll never use these huge rods, so I wanted to try and guage value and sell for the appropriate amounts. Photos attached...
Thanks in advance for any info!
