French Vanilla and Black Paw Print Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

Each of these COE90 murrini displays a bold black paw print centered on a warm French vanilla ground. The motif is clear and consistent across the jar: a large rounded central pad sits below four smaller toe pads, all rendered in solid black against the creamy off-white background. The high contrast between the black print and the vanilla ground makes individual slices easy to identify and position in a layout, and the motif stays legible even on the smaller pieces.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and every slice in this jar exposes the same paw print image. Use these slices as decorative accents by placing them on the surface of a COE90 fused glass base, then firing them so they fuse in place on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, or ornaments.

What does the pattern on these murrini look like?
Every slice shows a black paw print on a French vanilla (warm, creamy white) background. The design features a large rounded central pad with four smaller toe pads grouped above it, forming a clear, recognizable paw silhouette. The color contrast is strong and consistent from slice to slice.

What COE glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Using glass with a different coefficient of expansion creates thermal stress that can cause cracking, so match your base glass and any other inclusions to the same COE rating.

How many slices come in a jar?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. Larger slices carry the paw print as a focal accent while smaller ones work as a scattered trail across a piece.

How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices face-up on the surface of your prepared COE90 glass base. When fired, they fuse into the surface and become a permanent part of the piece. They work well as accent details on jewelry cabochons, pendants, plates, and suncatchers. A full fuse will melt them flat and integrate them smoothly with the surrounding glass, while a tack fuse leaves them slightly raised and more three-dimensional.

Working Notes

Firing temperature and schedule determine how much the murrini flow into the surrounding glass. A full fuse melts the slices completely flat, integrating them with the base glass for a smooth, flush surface. A tack fuse stops well short of full flow, preserving the raised profile of each slice and giving the finished piece a more textured, dimensional character.

Always fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. How the murrini behave depends on your specific glass, kiln, and firing schedule. Use your test results to dial in the right balance of flow and definition for the look you want.
