Nortel Mfg 'For Your Burning Desire' - your source for glassworking torches and supplies

Happy Thanksgiving long weekend, everyone! 🎉🍂

A new boro colour is joining the Nortel family, and it needs a name! 💙

What would you call this beautiful shade? Share your ideas in the comments below! 🤔👇

If your suggested name is chosen by the Nortel team, we’ll give you 1 lb of this new boro color for free to test and create with!

We’ll announce the name on October 16. We can’t wait to hear your ideas! ✨

I also happened to notice that this colour looks very similar to CiM Halong Bay! What do you think? 😆😆

A little about this glass: it’s manufactured in China and has no special colour-changing effects—just a lovely, smooth, almost oily-looking lustre.

Let’s talk borosilicate glass! 🔥

What colors are you looking for? A shade you can never find, a color you wish you had more options for, or something completely new? 🤔

More RB Glass colors are being developed, tested, and selected, and we’d love to hear what you’d like to see next.

Would you be interested in trying experimental RB Glass colors and sharing your feedback? Your experience at the torch matters to us!

Leave a comment with your color wish list, and let us know if you’d like to try some test colors. 👇✨

Thank you all for your continued support of Nortel! ❤️ From the comments on last week’s post, it sounds like many of you are looking forward to a boro glass promotion too 😁 We’re busy getting everything ready—stay tuned!

We’ve received so many boro glass orders over the past few days, and we truly appreciate every one of them!

Pictured here is one of today’s RB Glass orders. I’ve also included a photo of the colour samples, labelled with their codes, to give you a better idea of how these colours look after being worked in the flame. ✨

Have any questions, or looking for a particular colour? Please send me an email—I’d be happy to help!

We at Nortel are deeply saddened by the passing of Paul Stankard, a remarkable artist whose work brought the beauty of nature to life in glass.

His dedication to flameworking and generosity in sharing his knowledge have inspired generations of glass artists. His legacy will continue through his extraordinary work and the many people he encouraged.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and the glass community.

Rest in peace, Paul. Thank you for the beauty and inspiration you shared with the world.

Good morning, all - First off. Thank you so much for all of the orders of our bundles. Wow! Alex just finished picking the orders up to yesterday. If you have not received an invoice yet, it will be coming today. We were not expecting such a massive response. Thank you!

We've added a few more colours to the hot deals section. Please be aware, though, that for our US customers, there is currently a very large tariff on made-in-China glass, which will pretty much double the purchase price. :-( Shipping within Canada is fine.
