Blu-V

Blue-V appears to be a colorless glass with a faint hint of blue, especially looking at the ends of the rods. When you hit it with the UV, even in daylight, it really Pops! Plus, this color reacts beautifully under both LED and tube-style black lights.

Blu-V likes a neutral flame, but is not hampered by reduction or high-oxy flames, making it suitable for mixing or layering with nearly any other glass.
