CiM Tester Feedback

“Glacier with Silvered Ivory Shards – front one etched and so wonderful I want to carry it around with me all the time. Back one is not etched. Nice but not the same look. Glacier needs to be etched IMHO.”

"This glass is really, really, really soft, too. I'm tempted to say - softer than white. It literally took longer for the spacers to cool down and stop moving than it did to melt the gather and make the next one." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"For those who have not noticed, Glacier looks a lot like that infamous Italian Odd Lot color that was call Frosty Blue that you can’t find for sale any more."  Read more at the Frantz Art Glass blog.
