Each slice in this jar shows a Frankenstein monster face ringed in black: a flat topped head in muted green with subtle dark features. The slices are dark overall and the contrast is low, so the face reads as a shadowy, close up detail rather than a bright cartoon. Against lighter base glass, the black border gives each slice a bold, contained silhouette while the green face rewards a closer look, which suits Halloween and monster themed projects with a moodier feel.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. The face design is not painted on; it runs through the full depth of the cane, so every slice carries the same character. Place individual slices face up on the surface of your COE96 fused glass project and fire them in as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What COE glass do I need to use with these? These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing glass with different coefficients of expansion causes stress and cracking as the piece cools.
How many slices come in a jar? Sold as a jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The size mix works for single pendant accents as well as scattered arrangements across a larger piece.
How do I use murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices pattern side up on the surface of your base glass, then fire them in your kiln. They are surface accents, not a casting material or base layer. A full fuse will melt them flat and flush into the surface; a tack fuse preserves more of their raised, three dimensional character. See the Working Notes below for guidance.

A full fuse brings these murrini down flat and flush with your base glass, giving a smooth surface and a clean, graphic read of the dark discs. A tack fuse keeps the slices slightly raised, preserving a bit of dimension and the rounded edge of the cane cross-section. Because the design is dark, these slices show most clearly against lighter or brighter base glass. Test on a small sample piece before committing to a full project; firing results depend on your specific kiln, base glass thickness, and ramp and hold schedule.
