This is part of the Alchemy series of styles that change the color of silver foil fired in direct contact with the glass.

Cold Characteristics - The glass has a slight coral tint in the cold and fired form.

Working Notes - When it is fired the silver foil turns a rich reddish bronze where it is in contact with the glass. The photo shows the silver foil uncapped on top of 1016 (left), and fired between Clear and 1016 with the 1016 used as the cap (right). The faint coral color may be evident in fired works.

Expect variations in effects. Variations can result from different sources and thicknesses of silver, glass production runs, and heatwork, which includes firing times, temperatures, and multiple firings.

For warm-hued bronze color development Bullseye recommend a 1 hour soak at 1,225°F in the pre-rapid heat section portion of a firing cycle. If fired rapidly through this temperature range the resulting hue will be a lighter metallic.

Please Note: When firing silver foil in the kiln, be aware that the silver reaction can travel across the glass surface and onto the kiln shelf, potentially affecting silver-sensitive glasses in one or more subsequent firings. This can happen even when new shelf release (paper or primer) is applied to the kiln shelf. When fired between layers, silver is generally more contained and less likely to affect the firing surface.
