This beautiful professional sample board is an indispensable resource for project planning and client meetings displaying over 150 colors including iridescents and golds.
Smalti is made ‘by hand’ using color recipes that have been handed down through generations of glass artisans. Making glass is a rich art as well as a science. Duplicating colors can be very challenging as many variables contribute to the end result.
For these reasons the sample board, and on-line photos, are guides, not exact representations of every piece you find in one bag. If you were to cut 100 pieces from a sheet of stained glass you will find many different colors from one piece. Similarly, because Mexican smalti has so many variations, it is impossible to show all of them.
