Emerald Fusion blends the coating into a flowing green field where the color pools and runs rather than holding a fixed shape. Over the Bullseye Mardi Gras base, the green coating sits above a scatter of bright colored particles, so two layers of activity overlap and the eye keeps moving.
The green shifts in tone as light and viewing angle change, deepening toward a darker emerald in some positions and brightening with a metallic sheen in others. The Mardi Gras particles below catch the light independently, adding flecks of contrast through the green wash.
Fired color can vary by setup, so 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.
What is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass is known for showing different colors depending on light and viewing angle. Ancient examples include the Roman Lycurgus Cup, whose color shift came from tiny gold and silver particles within the glass. Modern art dichroic glass uses a different thin-film coating approach: very thin metal or metal-oxide layers on the glass surface reflect some wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass through. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.
Is this COE90?
This is COE90.
What base glass is it on?
It is on a Bullseye base.
What sizes are available?
Available sizes: 2"x4", 4"x4", Quarter Sheet.
Should I test before firing?
Yes. Dichroic results vary by kiln and setup, so test a small piece first when the final look matters.
Can I cap dichroic glass with clear glass?
Many artists cap dichroic glass with clear, and capping can change the final look. Test first to confirm the result you want.
