I adore Messy Color's Peace white. It's stiffer than Effetre (which I always found to be frustratingly soft), doesn't react with anything, and is just a nice bright white. Oh, it also doesn't sink into black. AND while I'm on the subject, Messy Color's Hades is a splendid black, too....pure black, no purple fading. These two make perfect black & white dot beads together.

i like vetro and effetre basic white - i'm probably one of the few people who absolutely loves the soupiness of this colour. it's great for gravity sculpting and nearly drips off the mandrel with just a little heat...
i tried anice white but it looks just like plain white but scorches and reduces really easily so haven't figured out quite what do with it yet... (suggestions anyone? besides the jim kervin organic effects at least?)
my second fave is the various alabastro whites - they burn really easily and crack like crazy if you heat them too fast but the translucent whites they produce are really quite cool...
third fave white is Reichenbach r60 opaline - found out by accident it reduces to a really cool metallic grey colour - and it's soupy soft too so great for sculpting.
and then finally Val Cox silver lake white frit blend. that stuff is just awesome, takes on a different personality with every glass i use...

Lauscha white doesn't go clear in the flame if that helps. But it's more expensive than Effetre. I haven't used Peace yet but I have heard good things.
