Stell Sundials sends spokes and arcs radiating from center points across the glass, a repeating fan pattern with a clear sense of motion. The Emerald Green coating settles into those radiating lines, holding a single rich green that traces the sundial shapes. Available on clear and black base, the pattern reads luminous or jewel deep depending on the base. This pattern is by artist Chris Stell.
The dichroic coating on one face shifts as light and angle change. Emerald Green stays mostly true green at center view, then warms toward gold or cools toward blue green at the edges of the spokes as you tilt the piece. Clear base lets light pour through the radiating shapes; black base turns the green into a deep, gem like tone.
Because kiln results differ, fire a small test piece before a full project.

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.
What COE is this glass?

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.
