The Fusion pattern blends across this Oceanside Clear Rainwater Texture base in merged, marbled areas of color that flow into one another without a clean repeat. The Rainwater texture lays a fine streaked, falling grain underneath, so the fused color follows those vertical runs and breaks the light into thin trails.
The blue into gold coating gives the fused areas a warm cool swing, cool blue at one angle and rich gold at another, with the change happening as you tilt. The dichroic side flashes metallic in direct light, and the clear Oceanside base lets the color glow when lit from behind.
Test a small piece first because kiln results vary.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines and Helpful Tips
Dichroic results vary by kiln, firing schedule, base glass, capping, layering, and coating orientation. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Follow the glass and coating manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when the final look matters.
- Coating side orientation and clear capping can each change the final look, so test first when the result matters.
- Appearance may vary after firing, and the metallic color shift can read differently by viewing angle and lighting.
- Cut and handle the coated surface with care.
What is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass has ancient roots, including the Roman Lycurgus Cup. Today, dichroic glass uses thin metal oxide layers on the glass surface to create a metallic color that shifts with light and viewing angle. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.
