The Boxes 1 pattern sets the coating into a grid of squared cells, blocky rectangular forms arranged in a repeating order across the glass. The geometric layout gives the surface a structured, architectural rhythm with clean edges between the boxes.
Against the thin black base the coating stays saturated and high contrast, the squared forms reading sharp on the dark field. As a dichroic coating the color shifts with light and viewing angle, so individual boxes catch different tones as you move and the grid never settles into one flat shade.
Because kiln results vary, test a small piece first.

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.
Is this COE90?
Available in COE90. It is COE90 only.
Which base works best with this pattern?
The blocky grid of squared cells reads as a high-contrast, open pattern, so a darker base works best, the channels between boxes frame the dichroic shimmer against a dark field. Final pairing is yours to pick from the base drop-down.
Does the grid stay crisp after firing?
The squared cells hold their edges through a standard full fuse. Hotter or longer holds can soften the corners of the boxes, so taper your top temperature if you want the grid to stay sharply geometric.
How does capping affect the grid pattern?
A clear cap deepens the dichroic shift inside each box and slightly mutes the edge contrast between cells and the base. Firing side up gives a glossier surface with sharper box edges; side down yields a matte finish that softens the grid read. Test a small piece first when the final look matters.
