Each slice shows a small, well-defined holly sprig: pointed dark green leaves fanning out around a cluster of bright red berries, all against a white background. The motif is crisp across the range of sizes in the jar, and the strong contrast between green leaves, red berries, and white ground keeps it readable even on smaller slices.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Place individual slices face up on the surface of a COE90 fused glass piece, such as a pendant, plate, suncatcher, ornament, or dish, and fire them in. They add pictorial detail without any special mold or casting technique.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like? A classic holly sprig: pointed dark green leaves in a small spray around a cluster of round red berries on a white background, reading clearly as a traditional holiday motif.
What glass must I use with these COE90 murrini? These are COE90 murrini and must be used only with glass of the same COE. Combining different coefficients of expansion creates stress as the piece cools and can result in cracking or breakage.
How many slices come in a pack? Sold as a jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix suits both larger focal areas and smaller detail spots.
How do I use these murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices directly on the surface of your prepared COE90 piece before loading the kiln, then fire to your schedule. They work as scattered accents, repeated border motifs, or clustered focal points.
Specifications
SKU: 152569 COE: COE90 Format: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern/motif: holly sprig, dark green pointed leaves with red berry cluster on a white background Working Notes
The fired look depends on your temperature and hold. A full fuse melts the slices flat and flush into the surface, reducing the raised profile. A tack fuse uses a lower peak and shorter hold, leaving the slices slightly raised with more of their original shape.
Always fire a small test piece first using your own kiln and your specific COE90 base glass. Results differ by kiln model, shelf position, and glass thickness, so match your ramp rates, target temperatures, and hold times to your setup.
