This celestial assortment runs deep blue throughout: slices in cobalt and royal blue, many of them mottled with lighter blue swirls, alongside slices that carry a green gold crescent moon glowing against the dark field. The mix reads like a night sky in glass, with the solid and swirled blues acting as background and the crescent moon pieces supplying the focal motifs. Side cut pieces show the blue barrel of the cane, a few with a teal sheen.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. To use them, place individual slices on the surface of a prepared COE96 piece and fire in your kiln. They work as accents on pendants, earrings, plates, suncatcher panels, and ornaments, adding a celestial note wherever you place them. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes, counts, and the mix of motifs vary from pack to pack.
What patterns are in this assorted pack? The assortment features cobalt and royal blue slices. Many are solid or mottled blue with lighter blue swirls, and a portion show a green gold crescent moon motif against the blue ground. Because this is an assortment, the balance of moon slices to plain blue slices varies from jar to jar.
What COE glass do I fuse these with? These murrini are COE96. Use them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing glass with different expansion rates creates incompatibility stress during firing and cooling that can crack the finished piece.
How many slices come in one pack? These are sold as a jar of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so plan around a natural mix of diameters and motifs rather than a fixed number.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Place individual slices on the surface of your base COE96 glass and fire in your kiln. A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush with the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated surface. A tack fuse holds at a lower peak and leaves the slices slightly raised, preserving more of their dimensional character. Test a small sample first and adjust to your kiln and glass.
Specifications
SKU: 172298 COE: COE96 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes, counts, and motif mix vary Pattern/motif: cobalt and royal blue slices, many with green gold crescent moons, others solid or mottled blue with lighter swirls Working Notes
A full fuse fires the murrini down until they sit level with the surface of the base glass, creating a smooth finished piece where the pattern is flush and visible. A tack fuse uses a lower peak, leaving the slices slightly proud of the surface and giving the piece more texture and dimension. The right approach depends on the look you want and how your glass and kiln behave.
Always fire a small test piece before committing a full project. Kiln calibration, glass thickness, and brand can shift results noticeably, so dial in your schedule using test tiles made from the same materials as your final piece.
