Creamy Off White, but Not Ivory
So I bought these shorts in the Garage Sale and there is a rod of this gorgeous creamy off white color that is not Moretti ivory because it does not spread or react. It just stays the color it is! I really like it. I already wrote the person I bought it from, but I haven't heard from her yet. Any idea who makes this and what number it is? I'd like to get some more of it.
I'm putting a picture in here. I've seen some really huge pictures in here, but the upload manager only allows 80 kb, so I'm wondering how some people put these giant pictures up here...
This picture is of a bead made with this creamy off white.

The file size for pictures depends on the image quality as well as the size, so if you save a large-dimensioned picture with low image quality, it can be a smaller file than the same image at better quality but smaller physical dimensions.
It sort of looks like Vetrofond Light Ivory or Yellow Ice to me, which is sad news since it's not currently easy (or affordable!) to get more of them.

Both light ivory and yellow ice do react, though. Are we sure it's Italian? Maybe it's BE or Reichenbach.

It's 104, so that rules out BE and I think Reichenbach. I'm thinking it's a Vetrofond. I seem to remember her telling me that the glass was Moretti, Vetro and maybe CIM.

I could be wrong about the reacting thing. I haven't tried it with silver. I just want more of it!!

I was selling some Vetro lt Ivory in the GS. It looks like it could be that.
I had seen it sold for over $100 per lb and I asked for $70 per kg (2.2lbs).
I didn't get a buyer and am wondering if it's more to do with it coming from Europe and the shipping costs than the actual price being too high.

I bought a Vetro odd that was called 'Cream' in the UK in March. Haven't used it yet but when I go out to torch I'll have a look at the code on it.

It looks like it to me too. *sigh* I wish they'd make more, I loved that glass.

Effetre Biscotti maybe? Or possible one of the CiM Butter Pecan Uniques?

It could be Vetrofond Odd Pale Ivory V919. It is not reactive.

The vetro I've got doesn't have a number. Is just called cream. 791822 is the number on Frantz's site so it will be the same.

This is what I found on Frantz: http://www.frantzartglass.com/index....oducts_id=5652
Thanks, Scaredycat, that is the same number I found for the Vetrofond.
Thanks, Redayh & Vivian, the color sort of looks like the almond, but it is a 104 color. That much, I know for sure. The woman who sold it to me said it was either Moretti, Lauscha, Vetro or CIM.
Dreamsincolor, it doesn't look like that picture of Reichenbach. Thanks for the link, though.
I'm going to check out the CIM Butter Pecan unique. I love Butter Pecan, but I usually like the more peachy version of it.
