I was looking for a light ivory that didn't get smutty when used with reduction glass (the 94/96 COE stuff, Kugler or Reichenbach) and ended up with Vetro light ivory as the least reactive. If you give it enough heat it will get smutty, but it's less likely to do so than the other 104 ivories.

(I'm not talking about Dirty White, by the way -- just regular Vetro Light ivory. I think Dirty White is being sold under another name but I can't remember what it is. It has more of a chalk color and less of a cream color than the light ivory. It might be being called very pale ivory or something like that now. They should have left it as Dirty White.)

Other than that, I use Effetre dark ivory, but I agree that some batches are better than others.
