Striker glass is glass that changes color during the heating and cooling process. Striking refers to the color change that occurs in colored glass as it is heated and cooled and rewarmed. it has 3 parts. reset, cool and warm. Heating the glass up to molten temps, resets the glass from the production heating process and it usually turns clear, erasing the thermal history. The heat within the glass causes the color change to yellows, reds, oranges, ambers, and transparent dark brown. After the glass has cooled, but not gotten cold, the glass is rewarmed to lower temps, and the purples, blues and greens appear. This is the true color of the glass.
