Glossy, dense and uniformly black, these balls show no variation from one bead to the next; a few larger ones have a flatter top where they settled while fusing. Against a white surface they look like polished jet.
Frit balls are rounded beads of fused glass, roughly 3 to 6 mm, and a pinch of them puts dozens of round dots on a piece in one pour. This is Bullseye 000100 Black Opalescent in COE90; fuse it with tested COE90 glass and nothing else. Bags are packed by weight at about one half ounce, around 100 to 130 balls. Black does the quiet work: eyes, seeds, flower centers and pebbled borders.
Does this glass behave differently in the kiln? It runs soft. Bullseye describes 000100 as low viscosity, so it flows sooner and farther than most glasses at the same temperature. At a full fuse a black ball spreads into a slightly wider dot, so leave extra spacing where dots must stay separate. The color holds; there is no strike or reactivity to plan around.
