At the latter part of last month, I decided to buy a Jenaer Duo from
wayneteasalon.com which arrived broken (Adagio packs their glassware
much better!). She was going to replace it out of her arriving order, but
when she received it, no Duo. So, she refunded my cc and I ordered it from
eteapots.com which had been out, but they received a new shipment in the
meantime. (It was delivered to me intact.)

So, now I go to Zackusa thinking that maybe I better get that large Mikado
that I was thinking about and Holy Crap! they've raised the price by $10
along with the prices of some of the other items by Jenaer, some of which
have doubled...

The press release at
http://www.us.schott.com/english/new...s.html?NID=120, dated
01-26-2005, says in part:

"SCHOTT Jenaer Glas GmbH finds itself compelled to terminate production of
consumer glassware in Jena (Germany) by March 31, 2005. Sales of Jenaer
Glass by SCHOTT North America, Inc. will continue until the end of calendar
year 2005."


If anyone's been thinking about getting a Jenaer, may as well get it while
the getting's still good.
