This assortment mixes five pointed stars in red, cobalt blue, yellow, and white, each centered on a clear or white translucent ground. The palette is bold and primary, and the variety runs through the jar: red stars on clear, blue on white, yellow on white, white on clear. Pieces seen from the side show striped outer bands, some red and white, others blue and white, which adds a second graphic texture to the mix.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. To use them, place individual slices on the surface of a COE90 fused glass piece and fire them in so they become a permanent part of the work. The high contrast star motifs suit patriotic themes, celestial designs, and any project that wants a vivid repeated accent. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes, counts, and the color mix vary from pack to pack.
What patterns and colors are in this assortment? Each slice carries a five pointed star. Stars appear in red, cobalt blue, yellow, and white, set on clear or white grounds, and some pieces show red and white or blue and white striped outer bands when viewed from the side. Because it is an assortment, the exact balance of colors varies jar to jar.
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 mismatched expansion rates can cause cracking during or after firing.
How many slices come in a pack? These are sold as a jar of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so you get a natural range of diameters and a mixed spread of the star colors.
How do I use murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your fused glass base, such as a pendant blank, plate, dish, suncatcher, or ornament, then fire the piece so the murrini fuse into the surface. See the Working Notes below for full fuse versus tack fuse results.
Specifications
SKU: 161304 COE: COE90 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes, counts, and color mix vary Pattern/motif: five pointed stars in red, cobalt blue, yellow, and white on clear or white grounds; some slices with red and white or blue and white striped outer bands Working Notes
The firing schedule you choose affects how these murrini look in the finished piece. A full fuse melts the slices flat and flush into the glass surface, blending each star smoothly into the base. A tack fuse reaches a lower peak and preserves more of the raised profile, keeping the stars distinct above the surface.
Always test a small sample before committing to a full project. Results vary with kiln, glass stack thickness, and the specific COE90 glass you are working with, so match the schedule to your materials and equipment.
