Description:

Moretti Black Transparent is an Effetre soft glass color pulled into solid rod stock for 104 COE lampworking. This transparent black is built for depth rather than opacity, giving you a smoky, see-through black that can read as charcoal in thin applications and deepen toward black as it is layered. In rod form it is easy to heat, gather, and pull into stringer, making it a versatile choice for encasing, shading, and adding dimensional contrast without the hard edge of an opaque black.

How it is used:

• Use as a transparent overlay to deepen and shade other colors without fully covering them.
• Pull into stringer for fine linework where you want a softer, smoky black instead of a solid outline.
• Layer over silver glass or reactive colors when you want added depth and a darker value shift.
• Build beads and small components directly from the rod, then adjust the darkness by adding or reducing layers.

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
