Assorted Beach Murrini/ Millefiore COE96

This assorted jar of COE96 beach murrini delivers a genuinely mixed coastal palette of cobalt blue, yellow, orange, red, and white. The designs vary from slice to slice: some pieces carry red and orange starfish or sun shapes on yellow or pale grounds, others show paler star forms against blue, and blue-and-white mottled rounds fill out the water tones. Solid yellow pieces and striped square end-cut segments add texture and variety to the mix. The colors work together as one coastal story even though the individual motifs differ.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and each design runs the full length of its cane, so every slice shows its motif face-up. Place individual slices on the surface of a fused glass project and fire them in as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.

What do the motifs in this assorted beach jar look like?
The mix spans cobalt blue, yellow, orange, red, and white. Motifs include starfish and sun-like shapes in red and orange on yellow or pale grounds, lighter star forms on blue, mottled blue-and-white rounds, plus solid-color and striped accent pieces. The exact combination varies from jar to jar, but the palette stays cohesive, making the different designs easy to combine in a single piece.

What COE glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass of different coefficients of expansion creates stress during heating and cooling, which can lead to cracking or fractures in the finished piece.

How many slices come in this jar?
These murrini are sold as a jar of assorted slices. Slice sizes, counts, and the motif mix vary from pack to pack, so treat each jar as a one-of-a-kind assortment.

How do I incorporate murrini into a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your base glass before firing. A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush into the surrounding glass, producing a smooth, integrated look. A tack fuse, run to a lower peak temperature or a shorter hold, keeps more of the original raised profile and gives the surface a textured, three-dimensional character. Both approaches suit these beach slices depending on the finish you are after.

Working Notes

A full fuse brings these murrini level with the surface of the base glass for a clean, smooth result. A tack fuse, achieved with a lower peak or shorter hold, preserves more of the slice's original raised form and adds surface dimension to the finished piece. Neither approach is universally correct; the choice depends on the look you want and the character of your glass and kiln.

Always fire a small test piece before working on a full project. Firing schedules vary by kiln model, glass brand, and project thickness. Match your ramp rates and hold times to what your own materials and equipment require rather than following a fixed outside schedule.
