Almond Nugget
Light almond-colored glass that reveals amber-to-wispy-blue veils when encased in an oxidizing flame; un-encased it shows lighter amber. Pulls thin, stays creamy, suitable for deep encasements.
Outcomes
-
Veils of amber shifting to wispy blues visible inside the encasement; complex and translucentEncase the glass and work in an oxidizing flame to reveal internal veils ranging from amber to wispy blues.
-
More opaque, muted almond/amber tones within encasementA reducing flame causes the encased glass to become more opaque, losing the blue veiling and settling into a heavier amber-almond tone.
-
Light creamy amber, no veiling; stays creamy and pulls thinWhen used un-encased, the color reads as a lighter amber with a creamy character. Pulls thin consistently.
Working notes
- Encasement is needed to develop the amber-to-blue veil effect; un-encased results are simpler lighter amber.
