Each slice in this jar shows a small American football: an orange oval with white lacing across its center, set in a round field of medium green like a patch of playing turf. The warm orange reads clearly against the cool green, so the motif holds up even at compact sizes, and slices seen from the side show the green barrel of the cane. These suit sports themed fused glass work from jewelry and pendants to ornaments and keepsake dishes.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice shows the same football. Place them on the surface of a COE90 project and fire them in as accents, singly or in groups, not as a structural layer. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.
What pattern do these murrini show? A miniature American football, an orange oval with white lacing on a green ground. The simple two color design keeps it easy to recognize even at small scale, which makes these dependable for team themed gifts.
What COE glass must I use with these? These are COE90 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. A different expansion rate introduces thermal stress and can cause cracking as the piece cools.
How many slices come in a pack? Sold as a jar of assorted slices, so every jar delivers a natural mix of diameters.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your prepared glass where you want the football to appear, then fire to your project schedule. They work on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
Specifications
SKU: 162119 COE: COE90 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern/motif: orange American football with white lacing on a green ground Working Notes
A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush into the surrounding glass. A tack fuse fires to a lower peak and preserves more of the raised profile, keeping the football more textured and distinct.
Results vary with glass and kiln, so fire a small test piece before committing your full project. Match the schedule to your specific COE90 glass and to how your kiln performs; no single ramp, peak, or hold applies to every setup.
