From Rande Bly of Birmingham, Alabama
Here is the photo of the sherbet and under plate that glows under the black light and it is from the club site. I believe this is Jim Sutterfield’s and David Chadwick Brown also has one. It is shape 2680. This is the one David is describing as a clambroth off white. Jim named it Yellow Opalescent. This is a color and glass type not shown in any of the books yet. I hope it gets included in the next book 🙂 ? I listed this color about a year ago in my TCC color list as Yellow Opalescent (all we had to call it at the time) that I posted under the title of Carders Rainbow for the Gazelle Gazette. I mentioned as the story goes Thomas Dimitroff told Jim since he found it he could name it. Well…. so he did and called it Yellow Opalescent! I do not have the Steuben Color name for this yet but we are still working on it. David says that Jim’s photo shows more custard than his does. I will see if I can pull my picture of David’s to send. I
have not had the chance to hold one of these pieces yet but we are probably seeing a glass type that is in between Calcite and Alabaster and has uranium in the mix. It is an orphan of the white family. David’s photo of his piece will be the second attachment. Now that we have a picture to show maybe someone else also has a piece of this so we could have our third example. This was one of the rare colors I have been waiting to discuss. I have a few more rare colors on the list to share sometime soon.

One other note of interest. David and Marshall both have an elevator lens that is marked Ivrene yet Marshall is instructing us it is actually Calcite. David is reporting it contains uranium. Once again we seem to have an exception to the rule and some Calcite? contains uranium. I am gathering information to see if the lens might be a cousin to the sherbet and underplates I have pictured because they also contain uranium.

Does anyone have a piece of pink Florentia they could test under black light for me please I have never owned one and need the results to discuss another rare color.
