Especially the coloring near the base.i think it's because of the camera, but it doesn't show everything. on the bowl itself, there's a light yellowish hue and on the narrow stem type area, it's a yellowish hue also...but if you look at it from different angles, it turns to that light blue hue in the pics. pretty neat!It's not the camera. I have one too. I know what they look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poncho Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 its most likely (im about 99.99% sure) that the yellow hue is silver that was fumed onto the glass. Its a lampworking technique used with borosilicate (pyrex is a name brand of this glass) which this bowl is made out of. I would smoke out of that one the most, it should change colors. Its the same thing with glass pipes with that same hue. The more you smoke out of it the more it should change colors. Its a reaction of the reflection of the light. Pretty cool, I can make the hookah stem's (once im into production) with this same hue on it. -jakeQUOTE (clumsygrace @ Feb 25 2009, 04:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>QUOTE (arcane @ Feb 25 2009, 08:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>QUOTE (clumsygrace @ Feb 25 2009, 04:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I love the MNH glass phunnels.

Arcane Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 you can see 1 box of John's coals in the pic. i just need it to last 3 weeks, because i won't be able to take it back with me on the airplane. the gunpowder and all will probably look suspicious to TSA.
