DINDO Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Decided to crack this 1 open. Just to see. It was harder then i thought it would be. The paint on the outside flaked away quite easily. On this particular model . It looks like they used some cheap blue glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DINDO Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Paint is probably not correct.i do believe it is glass colouring The iridescent finish was a thin layer added at the end covering everything. The yellow was all surface colouring very thin as well. The white mostly surface some went below. It all flaked away with ease after 1 good hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I can't remember what explanation we've been given for that iridescent finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking up carnival glass. The iridescent process for that is...maybe its the same process "Carnival glass gets its iridescent sheen from the application of metallic salts while the glass is still hot from the pressing. A final firing of the glass brings out the iridescent properties of the salts, giving carnival glass the distinct shine it is known for."... wixipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
