Noel etched onto a dichroic accent square on thin black glass, a finished holiday ornament component.
This is a holiday accent square, the word Noel etched into the dichroic coating on thin black glass, ready to use as a finished ornament component or a focal accent in seasonal fused work. The etched dichroic glass lettering gives a single coated word set against a solid black ground, made for builders who want a holiday motif without cutting or layering their own.
The dichroic coating reflects one color and transmits another. Because the base is black glass, no light passes through, so the lettering shows primarily its reflected color, bold against the black. Color appearance varies sheet to sheet, so each Noel square is unique.
Suited to ornaments, suncatchers, and holiday accents. Each square is sized to fit the Star Ornament Casting Mold, so you can fuse it into a personalized ornament. An ArtGlassSupplies.com exclusive.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines & Helpful Tips
Firing schedules and surface results vary by kiln, glass thickness, base glass, coating, layering, and desired finish. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Use the base glass manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when appearance or compatibility is important.
- Cut on the unetched (back) side.
- Clear capping, uncapped firing, and coating side orientation can each affect the final look, coating side up tends toward a glossier finish, and coating side down tends toward a more matte finish, so test first when the result matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is etched dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass has ancient roots, including the Roman Lycurgus Cup. Modern dichroic glass was advanced through NASA era vacuum deposition work, where ultra thin metal coatings were applied to transparent surfaces for optical protection. Today, dichroic glass uses thin metal oxide layers on the glass surface to create color that shifts with light and viewing angle. For these products, selected areas of the coating have been etched away to leave the pattern, and the etched through areas reveal the base glass beneath. The coating is on one side only.
What does this accent square say, and what size is it?
The phrase "Noel" is etched onto a 1.25" x 1.25" etched dichroic accent square on Thin Black Glass. It fits the Star Ornament Casting Mold to make a personalized ornament.
How does the dichroic look on the black glass?
On black glass you see primarily the reflected color, bold and high contrast, because no light passes through the opaque base. Color appearance varies sheet to sheet, so each piece is unique.
Is this made to order?
