the various and sundry creations of sylvus tarn
Check Pb
or, czech leaded glass

Here's another ancient sample stand—another one with tags so old they're hand scratched[1] in and nearly impossible to read.

I no longer work with this glass, but it does have some luscious colors, especially the pinks and the pine green.

Sample strand of “Check Glass” transparent lead colors. Late 90s or early 2000s.

[1]ok, mechanically scratched in–but with such a fine point they're still nearly impossible to read—so take the stock nos. with a grain of salt

[2]One is redder, probably because of flame chemistry: pinks can strike towards orange or blue, depending.
