Vintage uranium glass cullet on ebay CHEAP!
If anyone here is interested in glass cullet, I have purchased several
times from this seller, and have been beyond satisfied! Be warned that everything will arrive smelling unbelievably strongly of cigarette smoke (a real accomplishment, for chunks of glass) but he's a super-nice guy and he seems to live near an old glass manufacturer, because he dredges up chunks of uranium and oxblood glass, among other colors, and sells them *cheap*. Be aware that shipping will be as much, or more than, the glass itself, simply because it's so heavy. He charges actual shipping, which is nice, and usually throws in a few little chunks for free. http://snipurl.com/cullet |

Just out of curiosity I had a look (never heard the work cullet before).
What do you do with those big chunks of glass? Just nosey! -- Marisa (AU/NZ) http://www.galleryvittoria.com "I am NOT a floozy! I am a goddess..I can do what I like!", said Venus. 'The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen' |

It's just the color of the glass, I think. Right?

on that website. Cool color though! Tink On Thu, 29 Jan 2004 09:04:38 -0800, "pam" wrote: oh I hope so - I just bought a pound of uranium yellow and it's sitting in my kitchen!

Just out of curiosity I had a look (never heard the work cullet before). What do you do with those big chunks of glass? Just nosey! comes from manufacturing plants where they make pressed glass -- the only way to use this stuff is to break it up into smaller pieces -then "rebatch" it in a small crucble kiln/tank or -- if you try to "lampwork " it - you can preheat small chunks in a kiln - then take them out with tongs and work them. Many "batch" glasses tend to do strange things in a torch however, because they are made for a reduction furance environment . Cheryl last semester of lawschool! yipee!
