Sadly, The End of the Road for Bullseye Ring Mottles

Bullseye Glass Co. has decided to discontinue production of their ring mottle sheet glass. And what the heck is a ring mottle you may ask? Here's an explanation from someone incredibly boring- ring mottle glass refers to sheet glass with a pronounced mottle created by localized, heat-treated opacification and crystal-growth dynamics. Ring mottle glass was invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the early 20th century. Tiffany's distinctive style exploited glass containing a variety of motifs such as those found in ring mottle glass, and he relied minimally on painted details. When Tiffany Studio closed in 1928, the secret formula for making ring mottle glass was forgotten and lost. Ring mottle glass was "re-invented" in the late sixties by Eric Lovell of Uroboros Glass.
Traditionally used for organic details on leaves and other natural elements, ring mottles also find a place in contemporary work when abstract patterns are desired.
If you're a fan of this glass (as we are) don't despair as we still are carrying mottles from Oceana and Uroboros. And why of course, expect a typically huge FIG Sale on this glass...
