Each slice shows a layered heart: a deep rose center wrapped by a clean blue ring that traces the heart outline, all sitting in a clear glass field so light passes through the edges. The two-tone heart reads with strong contrast against both the blue band and the surrounding clear glass, and the motif stays consistent from slice to slice, with variation mainly in the overall size of each piece.
Murrini, also called millefiore, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. These are COE90 murrini, made to be used with compatible glass of the same COE. Place individual slices on the surface of a fused glass project, such as a pendant, plate, suncatcher, ornament, or dish, and fire them in. They work as decorative surface accents, not as a base layer or casting material.
What does the pattern on these murrini show?
A heart with a deep rose center surrounded by a blue ring, all set within a clear glass field. The edges are well defined, with strong contrast between the warm core and the cool surrounding band.
What COE glass do these murrini need?
These are COE90 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing glass of different expansion rates creates thermal stress that can cause cracking during or after firing.
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 your prepared COE90 base glass before loading the kiln. A full fuse melts the slices flat and flush into the surrounding glass so the heart reads as part of a smooth surface. A tack fuse stops earlier, leaving the slices slightly raised so the hearts keep a bit of dimensional character.

Working Notes
How far you take the fuse sets the final look. A full fuse brings the slices down level with the base glass for a flat, integrated surface. A tack fuse stops before that point, leaving the slices slightly proud so the hearts stay raised and the surface keeps more variation. Fire a small test piece first, since results depend on your COE90 glass, thickness, kiln, and schedule.
