NEW G-198 Royal Purple & G-199 Purple Rose

2nd September 2011    

G-198 Royal Purple

G-199 Purple Rose

Gaffer Glass would like to introduce our two newest color’s G-198 Royal Purple and G-199 Purple Rose.

As many of you know Zimmermann Glassworks has closed and their recipe book is no longer available.

The masses have requested a substitute for Zimmermann’s Z-99 Purple Rose, and Gaffer has delivered!

When we set to work at first we thought it would be relatively easy to reproduce Z-99, but it opened the door to a number of mysteries we didn’t even know existed! After a lot of experimentation involving lots of increasingly expensive gold, we can now announce that we believe a new and improved Z-99 is reborn. In fact there are a couple of variations that exploit either the purple side or the pink side of the recipe. They are G-198 Royal Purple and G-199 Purple Rose. Neither of the colors devitrify anywhere near as easily as Z-99 and the devit can easily be reversed. The glasses are very soft and should not be worked too hot. Multicolors can be achieved with very little effort. Check out www.lampworketc.com/forums for ongoing discussion and demos.

Gold & Silver Price Increase

GAFFER COLOURED GLASS LIMITED

April 26th 2011

Dear Clients,

 

We regretfully announce that as of May 2nd 2011 we are forced to finally confront the remorseless rise in the cost of precious metals –namely gold and silver. We have absorbed the cost of these materials over the last five years but there now comes a time when we can no longer do so. Just since 2008 gold has increased in price 70% and silver likewise 140%. Also the US dollar shows persistent weakness against the New Zealand dollar.

Accordingly we are increasing the price of all our glasses containing gold and silver by 15%.

 

Those colours are as follows:

 

Transparents                                         Opals

010 Gold ruby extra                              109 Chalcedony

011 Gold Amethyst                               1095 Blue Chalcedony

012 Brilliant Gold                                  110 Gold pink extra

013 Apricot                                         112 Pale rose

014 Gold ruby                                      113 Heliotrope

015 Hyacinth                                       114 Purpur

016 Wine Red                                         115 Violet  

019 Gold Topaz                                     116 Lavender

060 Silver Blue Lustre                           189 French Vanilla

062 Black lustre

063 Iris yellow lustre

065 Purple lustre

MTC (Multistate Tax Commission) Audit Program

Dear Valued Glass Professional,

 

Beginning January 1, 2010, per Washington State Senate Bill 6173, the requirements for wholesale purchasing in Washington State has changed. You may already have received your new Reseller Permit informing you of these changes.

 

MTC (Multistate Tax Commission) Audit Program

 

Out of State Customers that ship in the following states are members of the MTC Audit Program & should be taxed if we don’t either Resale Certificate or Multi-State Tax Exemption Certificate:

 

Alabama

Arkansas

Colorado

Washington DC

Georgia

Hawaii

Idaho

Kentucky

Michigan

Minnesota

New Jersey

North Dakota

Gaffer Glass USA is required by law to collect a paper or electronic copy of your new Reseller Permit to exempt your purchases from Washington State sales tax. It is our goal to help make the processes as efficient and streamlined as possible for our retail and wholesaler purchasers alike.

 

If you have not yet provided Gaffer Glass USA with your new Reseller Permit, please fax, email or mail your copy to us prior to your next purchase.

 

Previous Resale Certificates and Exemption Letters will no longer be valid after January 1, 2010 and those customers without documentation are subject to pay sales taxes on purchases.

If you do not believe you are subject to pay sales tax for your purchases with Gaffer Glass USA, and are without a state issued Reseller Permit, we will require you to provide us with a completed copy of the Multi-State Tax Exemption Certificate. This can be found online through the Washington State Department of Revenue website: dor.wa.gov .

 

We thank you for your continued patronage and look forward to providing you with the ultimate products and service from Gaffer Glass USA.

 

Sincerely,

Hallynd D. Hall
