Ehle, blaze, pure, weedstar are all not high quality glass. If you read earlier roor and illadelph hardly make the list.
You fucking serious? YOU Fucking SERIOUS!? YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?! All those 3 shit Zob, hvy, syn and stuff all mid end. Sovereignty, Mobius, Toro, RooR.De = high End (Minus RooRs outdated style still high end.)
No im not serious lmfao & to that one guy above me illadeph is sure as Hell high quality its just overpriced , illadelph doesn't not "barely " make the list
my faves that ive actually hit are sheldon black, syn, mobius, dwb, a glasswork orange, and efs.ssfg is okay but i wud put ago and dwb above him. sgw is ok but the ones ive seen lately are a little sloppy and not as straight as ive seen them in the past.
I think barely describes illadelph and roors placement on the high end list quite spot on. Since i have been the owner of both and alot better, i think i can honestly say those 2 brands are not up to standards to "Most" high quality glass makers. Sure they are expensive and okay glass, but there functionality really affects their title of being high end. This is why they "barely" make the list, they are good but not really. In my opinion, even Sheldon black has a much more efficient design due to the downstem angle.
from what ive seen GNOSY is more of a heady artist but im sure no bodys gonna be mad he was mentioned. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH7CR5NXaK8]they love eatch other - YouTube[/ame] This is shitloafs slide as an example of a "g" fitting Gnosy does. Lets keep this thread rolling
Those are all poo glass... Maybe with the exception of Pure. Maybe Cheech, but Ive heard they have ripoff designs.

I'm fucking amazed no one has mentioned... Arik Krunk Steve Bates Hermit Glass Jack Hanshaw Jake Colito The Mothership crew Chris Carlson ^All some of the best heady artists around.
No one has mentioned Leisure yet! But in terms of the most talented blowers who make the highest quality glass I would have to go with Illadelph or Toro.
