TAG Juno Rod 104COE

Named for the wife of Zeus in Roman lore, Juno is a pink of mythological proportions! This TAG soft glass rod is a reducing glass that also strikes. When reduced alone, she can go amber, and can develop a metallic sheen. But like Zeus (the TAG color, not the god), Juno’s reduction haze can be intensified, brightened, and made more opaque by striking it. Her reduction haze ranges from greenish to blush to pink/purplish, depending on the batch and the background color. The reduction haze is enhanced with encasement. Juno also strikes in a neutral to oxidizing flame with a resulting unusual yellow glow. For an interesting effect, try simply striking Juno on a base of Moretti Dark Ivory for a range of colors from pink to purple to periwinkle and even coppery hues! Please take note, however, that overworking Juno can burn out her color.
