Description:
Asian 16mm Purple Rod is a substantial diameter color rod made for flameworking, providing a rich, vibrant purple in a larger format that holds heat and gives you longer working time in the flame. The thicker cross-section is especially useful when you need to move more glass quickly while keeping the color consistent and saturated through the gather.
This rod is a strong choice for larger lampworked forms and for efficient production work where you want dependable color coverage and good value, while still maintaining a brilliant purple hue when properly annealed.
How it is used:
This rod is used as a primary color source in borosilicate lampworking. You can:
- Build larger beads and sculptural elements by gathering a substantial mass quickly from the 16mm diameter.
- Pull smaller stringer or cane from the rod for line work, accents, and layered decoration.
- Use it for production work where consistent color and longer heat retention help speed up shaping and finishing.
- Pair it with clear for encasement or to control color density while keeping the purple clean and vibrant.
