These murrini slices each carry a maple leaf motif in warm marigold yellow, set against a clear, transparent glass surround. At the small scale of a slice the leaf reads as a compact golden shape floating in clear glass, and the transparent ground lets your base glass show through around the motif. Slices vary in size within the pack, giving you a range of scale to work with when arranging a composition.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane; the motif runs the full length of the cane, so every cut face repeats it. Place individual slices directly on the surface of a fused glass base, arrange them as accents or focal points, then fire them in your kiln. These COE96 murrini work on jewelry pieces, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What does the motif in these slices look like? Each slice displays a maple leaf in warm marigold yellow inside a round clear glass disc. The golden color reads clearly against the transparent surround, and on a light or white base the motif takes on a bright, sunny character.
What COE glass should I pair with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini; fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass of different coefficients of expansion causes stress that can crack or shatter the piece as it cools, so keeping everything within the same COE family is essential.
How many slices come in a pack? These are sold as a jar of assorted slices. Slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so there is no fixed number; the photo shows a representative spread.
How do I use these murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange slices on the surface of your base glass, then fire them in your kiln. A full fuse melts each slice flat and integrates it smoothly into the surface for a flush finish. A tack fuse stops short of full melt, leaving each slice with a rounded, raised profile and more visible surface texture.
Specifications
SKU: 164497 COE: COE96 Format: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Pattern: maple leaf, marigold yellow on clear glass Working Notes
At a full fuse temperature, these murrini will melt level with the surface of your base glass, creating a smooth, integrated look. At a tack fuse, they retain more of their rounded, three-dimensional shape, which adds tactile texture and visual depth to the finished piece. The effect depends on your specific firing schedule, kiln characteristics, and base glass thickness.
Always test with a small sample piece before firing a full project. What works in one kiln with one glass system may behave differently in another, so adjust your schedule based on your own test results rather than relying on general targets.
