Source for Desag Glass

Hi,

Does anyone know of a retail source for Desag glass in the U.S. (preferably
in the Midwest). If no retail sources, then on-line?

It isn't hard to find. Almost all wholesale disbributors carry Desag
GNA. Here's the URL for Spectrum's list of distributors. Check the
ones nearest you and ask for the name of a retailer. You might start
with Ed Hoys.

Are you saying that DeSag is owned by Spectrum?

Desag is an offshoot of Schott. Desag GNA (German New Antique) is
fairly widely available. I think Dennis may be saying that many of
Spectrum's distributors will also carry GNA. As for other glass ranges
from Desag, I suspect thay are less readily available in N America

Last I knew it was available from Hollander, but don't know if that is the
case anymore..
I was aware of the Schott connection, that is why the reference to Spectrum
caught my eye, used to make some really nice rolled glass back when, at
least I think it was theirs...

I'm looking for Desag Artista and also Lamberts "Table Cathedral". The U.S.
Lambert's distributor won't import them though. I emailed a few U.K dealers
asking whether they'd ship to the U.S. but none of them have even bothered
to answer so I guess I'm just out of luck.

Hi,

If you mean antique glass and all kind of glass, Desag is now Glasshütte
Lamberts in Waldsassen, Deutschland. I don't now about retail source in
the
US. Ask them : www.lamberts.de.

Go with the Spectrum - they've got plety of glasses that would suit
you. Have you seen a sample of Spectrum 317 ? It's not what you'd
want for your lighting, but it's a nice glass for work with fumed oak.

Your saying that as a joke, right?

Andy,

Yes, I've looked at the 317 and it's nice stuff, but even though I'm making
the 70 for myself it's also going to be a demo piece I'll be showing to
prospective clients and so I want it to be as authentic as possible (a huge
positive factor in repros obviously). The amber glass 70's I've seen have
pretty "typical" hammered panes--nothing like the 317.
