Topic: More Bubbly Monart - IG bowl

[Gary]

Maybe the orange worked particularly well for this technique!

Monart did use that technique in three (that I know of) different colour codes.

After some research I will have to amend my above statement.
The following Monart colour codes have this type of technique- 24 with orange and possibly blue, 143A orange, 261 orange, 261A orange and blue, 384 orange, 295A orange and blue, 395 orange, 396 orange and 455A orange. I have a bowl with orange and yellow (no colour code so far), the Perth museum lampshade orange (no colour code so far), ex I Turner collection Christies sale lot 100 KB bowl amber (no colour code so far).
This technique was used in Monart more than I originally thought, though still  fairly uncommon.
Orange does appear to be the most used colour.

Thanks Gary for taking the time to research 

I have 3 pieces with "shards" in - this  IG bowl, a 395, and also this BB bowl - not sure of the colour code though?
 I have been looking at it more closely now - some obs:

The "shards" appear to be a translucent green colour, but there are other colours overlaid on top (looking from the outside of the bowl) and looking inside you can see the orange yellow colour  - so the shards appear to be sandwiched between an inner base colour of typical orange & yellow, then shards, then multi-colours applied on top (then clear cased). I must admit it's fairly thick glass with a couple of fairly large annealing cracks and a slightly unusual pontil mark (almost like it's been on the rod twice)?

Should this topic be split off into a "Monart colour techniques" or just kept here?

Hi,
if there is a mod reading this, could you possibly split this off (either separate or duplicate) into a new heading/topic
 "Monart colour schemes" or suchlike 

thanks!

Roberta - I will happily split it out.

But could you please suggest
a) where to make the split (which Post #) and
b) what the new heading should be?
