This assortment brings together crescent moon and star murrini in more than one colorway, all sharing a deep cobalt blue palette. Some slices show a white or pale crescent moon with small star accents on a rich blue ground; others carry a yellow-green crescent wrapped around a paler center. Spread across a piece, the mix gives a varied but cohesive night-sky character, with the cobalt blue tying the different slices together.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane; each slice reveals the design running through its cane. These are COE90 murrini. To use them, place individual slices on the surface of a fused glass piece and fire them in as decorative accents. They suit a wide range of projects including jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What does the motif on these murrini look like?
The pack mixes celestial designs: crescent moons and small stars in assorted colorways, including white or pale moons and stars on deep cobalt blue grounds and yellow-green crescents around paler centers. The exact mix of designs varies from pack to pack, with cobalt blue running through the assortment.
What COE glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini; use them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different coefficients of expansion puts stress on the piece during heating and cooling, which can lead to cracking. Keep all elements in your project matched.
How many slices come in a pack?
These are sold as a jar of assorted slices. Slice sizes, counts, and the mix of colorways vary from pack to pack; the photo shows a representative spread.
How do I place and fire murrini in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your COE90 base glass before firing. A full fuse will melt the murrini flat and flush into the surface for a smooth, integrated finish. A tack fuse will keep more of the slice raised and preserve the three-dimensional texture of each piece. Test a small sample first and adjust your schedule to your kiln and glass.

Working Notes
A full fuse brings the murrini flush with the surface of your glass, producing a flat, smooth result where the pattern is embedded in the piece. A tack fuse stops short of full flow, leaving the slices with a raised profile and more visible surface texture. Both approaches are valid and the choice depends on the look you want for the finished project.
Always fire a test tile before committing to a full piece. Firing conditions vary between kilns, and the thickness of your base glass will also affect how the murrini behave. Match your schedule to your specific setup and COE90 glass, and use your test results to dial in the outcome you are after.
