Each slice shows a paw print motif, a rounded central pad with a cluster of smaller toe pads above it, rendered in black on a white or light ground. The two-color contrast is crisp, keeping the paw shape clear and recognizable across the range of sizes in the pack.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. Place individual slices on the surface of a COE96 fused glass project such as a pendant, plate, dish, suncatcher, or ornament, then fire them so they fuse into the surface as accents.
What does the pattern look like?
A black paw print, a rounded central pad with a cluster of smaller toe pads above it, on a white or light ground. The high contrast holds up even at the smaller end of the size range.
What glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing glass of different expansion rates creates stress that can cause cracking during or after firing.
How is this sold?
Sold by weight as a pack of loose murrini slices. The exact count and the mix of slice sizes vary from pack to pack.
How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your COE96 base glass before firing. A full fuse melts them flat and flush for a smooth, inlaid look; a tack fuse leaves each slice slightly raised so the motif keeps more of its three-dimensional character.

Working Notes
A full fuse melts these murrini flat and flush into the base glass so the motif sits embedded in a smooth surface. A tack fuse preserves more of the raised profile, leaving the slices slightly proud. The right choice depends on the finished look you want.
Always fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Results vary with kiln, glass thickness, and firing schedule, so match your schedule to your own materials and equipment rather than to any generic guideline.
