Assorted Holiday Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

This jar of assorted holiday murrini contains a varied mix of Christmas-themed motifs. The assortment includes green Christmas trees decorated with tiny dot ornaments, holly sprigs with bright red berries on white rounds, snowflakes rendered both in blue on white and in white on blue, gingerbread men in warm brown, and red and white gift package and candy stripe designs. Striped rectangular pieces and solid-color spacers in white, green, and blue round out the variety. The overall palette runs to red, green, white, blue, and brown, giving the collection a consistent holiday character.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so each slice carries its picture through the glass. To use them, place individual slices face-up on the surface of your COE90 fused glass project, whether a pendant, plate, suncatcher, or ornament, and fire them so they bond to the glass beneath. They serve as decorative accents rather than a base layer, and they let you add precise pictorial detail to any fused piece.

What motifs are in this holiday assortment?
The jar contains a mix of Christmas-themed images including trees, holly with red berries, snowflakes in blue and white, gingerbread men, and gift package and candy stripe designs, plus striped and solid-color filler pieces. The exact mix varies from jar to jar, with both smaller accent pieces and larger focal slices to work with.

What glass must I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass of different COE values introduces thermal stress into the finished piece and can cause cracking, so keep every component of your project at the same COE.

How many slices come in a jar?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The motif mix also varies, so each jar is its own assortment.

How do I use murrini in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your prepared COE90 base glass. You can cluster them, scatter them as accents, or line them along a border. Once you are satisfied with the layout, fire the piece in your kiln. A full fuse brings the murrini down flush with the glass surface for a smooth, integrated result, while a tack fuse stops at a lower peak and leaves the slices raised. See Working Notes below for general guidance on choosing between the two approaches.

Working Notes

A full fuse fires the murrini until they melt flat and flush into the surface of the base glass, producing a smooth, level result where the motifs become part of the glass itself. A tack fuse stops at a lower peak temperature, leaving the slices slightly raised and domed, which preserves more of the fine detail in each image and adds a tactile dimension to the surface. The right choice depends on the visual result you want for your particular piece.

Always fire a small test sample before committing to a full project. Kiln behavior, glass brand, project thickness, and the specific COE90 base glass you are using all affect how murrini respond to heat, so match your ramp and hold schedule to your own kiln and materials rather than relying on a single universal time and temperature.
