Stell Timepieces builds a pattern of clock and watch shapes across the glass, repeating dials and small mechanical forms in a layout with an antique feel. A Green/Magenta Blue coating runs over those timepiece shapes, swinging between green and a magenta leaning blue from form to form. The pattern is available on clear and black base, and the base sets the backdrop for that color play. This pattern is by artist Chris Stell.
The dichroic coating sits on one side and shifts with light and viewing angle. Green holds at one tilt, then gives way to magenta and blue as you turn the piece, so the clock shapes seem to change color across the sheet. Clear base sends light through the timepiece forms; black base pushes the green and magenta blue into richer contrast.
Test a small piece first, since color behavior varies by kiln and setup.

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.
