Green and White Hip To Be Square Murrini/ Millefiore COE96

These COE96 murrini are square twice over: the slices are cut in a square silhouette rather than the usual round, and each one carries a green square centered on a pale green to white ground. Most slices show a small lighter point at the center of the green square, giving the design a subtle layered look, and the soft palette keeps the geometry crisp without heavy contrast.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice reveals the same design. Place individual slices face up on the surface of a COE96 fused glass project and fire them in to add a repeating geometric color accent to jewelry, dishes, suncatchers, plates, or ornaments. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.

What does the pattern on these murrini look like?
Each slice shows a green square centered on a pale green to white ground, most with a small lighter point at the middle of the green square. The slices themselves are square in outline, which reinforces the geometric character. Colors throughout are greens and white.

What COE glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing coefficients of expansion causes stress that leads to cracking as the piece cools. Confirm your base glass and any other additions share the same COE before firing.

How many slices come in a jar?
These are sold as a jar of assorted slices, and slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The size range lets you tile larger squares into orderly grids and slot smaller ones into border work.

How do I incorporate murrini into a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your COE96 base glass, then fire them in your kiln. They are decorative accents placed on top of the glass, not a casting material or mold frit. They suit jewelry blanks, pendants, small dishes, plates, suncatchers, and ornaments.

Working Notes

A full fuse will melt these slices flat and flush into the surface of the base glass, blending the square motif smoothly into the piece. A tack fuse leaves the slices slightly raised, preserving their distinct square edges and giving the surface more texture and depth. Both approaches can work depending on the look you are after.

Always fire a small test piece before committing a full project. Results vary by kiln, glass chemistry, and thickness, so follow a schedule suited to your specific setup and glass rather than applying a single universal guide.
