Rande Bly asked about whether there has been a sighting of gold mica flecks in a Carder piece of glass, since he reports he has only seen silver flecks.

Marshall Ketchum reports

In response to Rande’s question, Gold flecked pieces are mentioned in the factory records.

Are the flecks in this piece gold, or is it the color of the glass that makes it look gold?
