About Rozay, 1692

Rozay is a vibrant transparent pink borosilicate glass with a high refractive index, giving finished work a bright, light-catching quality that shifts with form and movement.

A pink version of Purple Rain, it offers high clarity and strong color vibrancy in both blown and solid lampworking applications.

Its optical properties add depth and brilliance, especially in curves, thicker forms, and sculptural pieces where light interaction enhances the color.

Working Tip: Try layering Rozay to achieve a pink tint, or using it in thick solid sections to achieve a vibrant pink.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

“Rozay is a transparent what you see is what you get, high clarity and vibrant pink.   Stable and workable, this color lends itself well to both blown and solid work. Rozay can act as a tint over clear or color; you can also gather it up for thick lenses or colored tubing. When drawn down to a stringer, Rozay will be a very light pink. 

The vibrancy of this color shows up in different ways when transmitting and reflecting natural light.  Its high refractive index helps the color "pop" in certain shapes, similar to fiber optics or prisms. Rozay is also able to hold up under all flame atmospheres and in long working times both on the torch and in the kiln. Perfect in the lineup of GA Purple Rain, GA Haterade, GA Blue Dream and GA Lemon Drop, among others from the candy clear transparent palette” – Mike Shelbo
