Why are glass colors that are essentially the same named differently? (i.e Lucy, and Pink Flamingo or green stardust and paparazzi)

Each color company names their unique color what they want.  So for instance Paparazzi is green sparkle and comes from Glass Alchemy, while Stardust is a blue sparkle and comes from Trautman Art Glass.  If you make the color, you get to name it what you want.  Sometimes the name indicates the color.  For instance, paparazzi is about photos of celebrities, they make a lot of money, and money is green.  The photos taken sometimes have a flash, this is the sparkle.  Have fun in life!

Are our butter colors still high quality glass?

Of course, Butter Color glass is some of the highest quality glass there is.  Elev8 Premier only does the best they can.  Just because something starts with China backing, but has American color also, oh and is sleeved in German clear does not make it bad.  This CHINA is bad is NOT a good thing.  China’s communist government is horrible, but the people are just like us.

Elev8 Butter Color is some of the highest quality glass there is.  The fact that there is no way to boil the colors, it is easy to work and is compatible with all boro glass makes it some of the best glass to work with in the industry.
