Each slice shows a concentric square motif: a creamy ivory border frames a vivid orange field, and a pale inner square sits at the center, with a small orange core showing through on the larger pieces. The slices are square in silhouette rather than round, which sharpens the geometric layering. The warm orange carries well at small scales, so individual pieces stay readable whether you place a few on a pendant or scatter a handful across a plate.
Murrini, also called millefiore, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Use them as decorative accents: place slices on the surface of a COE96 fused glass base and fire them in to accent jewelry, suncatchers, plates, dishes, or ornaments.
What COE glass do I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Glass of a different expansion rate causes thermal stress and cracking in the finished piece.
How are these murrini sold?
Sold by the pack. Slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so you get a natural range of sizes to work with.
How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of a COE96 fused glass base and fire them in. A full fuse melts the slices flat and flush into the surface; a tack fuse keeps more of their raised, three-dimensional look. See the Working Notes below for firing guidance.

Working Notes
How you fire these murrini changes the final look. At a full fuse the slices melt down flat and integrate flush into the surrounding glass, creating a smooth surface with the pattern embedded. At a tack fuse they keep more of their shape and stand up slightly for a raised, textured result. Test a small sample piece first, since results vary with kiln, glass chemistry, and thickness.
