Moretti glass comes in dozens of colors, but even so, there are some colors missing. Fortunately, there's a German glass, Lauscha, that fills the color gaps. Lauscha is fairly new to the U. S. market, so I had a tough time finding a supplier, especially for the most interesting colors. But as you can see, I was successful, and was able to test Lauscha's Steel Blue, Olive Green, and transparent Peach, among others. I'm on a waiting list for some of the other colors, such as Cocoa Brown.

Lauscha's other standout product is its clear glass. Many beadmakers prefer it to Moretti clear for encasing because Moretti tends to get foamy and scummy in the flame.
