This CBS Dichroic glass carries a Yellow and Blue coating over a Bullseye base of white and blue fractures with black streamers. The fracture flakes and dark streamers scatter across the surface, so the coating shimmer lands in the gaps and along the black lines rather than evenly.
The coating shifts between yellow and blue depending on angle and light. The blue side of the shift picks up the blue fractures in the base, while the yellow flashes warm the white areas, and the black streamers sharpen both.
This is a COE90 fusible glass for fused and layered work. Appearance can change after firing, so test a sample 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What COE is this glass?
This is COE90.
What base glass is it on?
It is Bullseye White and Blue Fractures with Black Streamers Glass, coated by CBS Dichroic.
What sizes are available?

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.
