Owl Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

Each slice in this jar shows a front-facing owl face in miniature. A white outer ring frames the design, deep royal blue fills the surrounding field, and the owl sits at the center with warm amber and golden orange markings that read clearly even at small sizes. The motif repeats from slice to slice, so every piece you place adds the same recognizable owl to your finished work.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so each slice reveals the same owl design. Use them as surface accents on COE90 fused glass projects: place slices on a pendant, plate, dish, suncatcher, or ornament, then fire them in your kiln so they fuse into the glass. 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 small owl face viewed straight on. A white rim circles the outside, deep royal blue fills the body of the slice, and the owl face sits at the center in amber and golden orange. The detail is compact and holds up well across the range of slice sizes in the jar.

What COE glass must I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing coefficients of expansion introduces thermal stress that can crack the finished piece, so confirm your base glass 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. Larger slices give the owl room to read as a focal accent, while smaller ones work as supporting detail.

How do I incorporate these into a fused glass piece?
Place individual owl slices on the surface of your prepared COE90 base glass before loading the kiln. They are decorative surface accents, not a base layer. A full fuse will melt them flat and flush with the surrounding glass, while a tack fuse leaves them raised with more of their original profile intact.

Working Notes

Firing schedule affects how much the owl slices settle into the base glass. A full fuse brings the murrini down level with the surrounding surface, merging the owl images into the sheet. A tack fuse uses less heat, preserving the slice height and giving each owl face a slight raised relief above the base.

Results depend on your kiln, glass thickness, shelf position, and the specific COE90 glass you are using, so fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Use your glass manufacturer's recommended schedule as a starting point and adjust from there.
