"I was apprehensive about Lake Baikal in rod form as the red inclusions seemed very hit and miss and subtle, but this is what makes this glass beautifully unique. Yes, the inclusions are subtle, but these blend in so beautifully with the lavender hues that surround it. This allows the light to bounce around the inside and give off a pretty inner purple glow, it really is beautiful. I preheated this rod, as I suspected it would be quite shocky. No issues whatsoever, melted at a lovely consistency, not too stiff but not buttery. A unique colour that will appeal to a lot of people, I don’t know any another colour like this with these kinds of inclusions. Lake Baikal is a must have for all glass lovers that like something a bit different." – Juliette Mullett |
