Each slice in this jar shows a kite motif built from a bright yellow green diamond flanked by dark green triangles above and below, with small orange accents at the points, all set on a white ground that fills most of the face of the slice. A few slices carry soft gray flecks near the rim, part of the natural character of the cane. The lime against white combination is fresh and graphic, and the motif stays sharply defined even at the smaller diameters.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the design runs the full length of the cane, so the slices are consistent across the jar. Place slices on the surface of a COE90 piece and fire them in as accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.
What does the kite motif look like on these slices? Each slice shows a diamond form in bright yellow green paired with dark green triangles, with small orange accents at the points, centered on a white ground. The white occupies most of the disc face, which keeps the strong contrast and gives the pattern its clear, graphic quality.
What COE glass must I use with these murrini? These are COE90 murrini. Use them only with glass of the same COE. Combining incompatible expansion rates introduces thermal stress into the finished piece and can cause cracking.
How many slices come in a pack? These are sold as a jar of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so every jar holds a natural mix of diameters.
How do I use murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your COE90 glass before firing. Murrini serve as decorative surface accents, not a base layer. A full fuse melts them flat and flush into the surrounding glass, while a tack fuse preserves more of their raised profile.
Specifications
SKU: 172264 COE: COE90 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern/motif: kite in bright yellow green and dark green with orange accents on a white ground Working Notes
The firing method shapes the final look of these slices. At a full fuse, the murrini melt down flush with the surrounding glass and the motif becomes smooth and integrated into the surface. At a tack fuse, the slices retain more of their raised profile and the kite pattern stands slightly above the glass. Both approaches are valid; choose for the effect you want.
Always run a small test piece before committing to a full project firing. Schedules vary by kiln, glass thickness, and project size, so match your ramp and hold settings to your specific glass and equipment.
