Each slice in this bag shows a clear heart motif: a deep rose-red heart, richer and more saturated than a pastel pink, centered on a medium blue field and edged in blue with a pale outer rim. The contrast between the dark heart and the blue surround reads crisply even at the smaller sizes, making these slices a strong accent choice for jewelry, pendants, ornaments, and small fused pieces where detail matters.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the heart design runs the full length of the cane, so every cut reveals the same motif. Arrange individual slices on the surface of a COE96 fused glass project and fire them in so they bond to the base glass as decorative accents.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like? Each slice shows a deep rose-red heart centered on a blue background, with a paler rim around the outside edge of the disc. The strong color contrast between the dark heart and the blue field keeps the motif easy to read across the full size range in the bag.
What COE glass do I need to use with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different coefficients of expansion creates thermal stress that can cause cracking during or after firing.
How many slices come in a bag? These murrini are sold as a bag of assorted slices. Slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so plan your layout around the assortment you receive.
How do I use murrini in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your base glass before firing. A full fuse brings the slices down flat and flush with the surface for a smooth finish. A tack fuse stops short of full melt, leaving the slices slightly raised and preserving more of the original three-dimensional profile and edge detail. Choose your approach based on the surface texture you want in the finished piece.
Specifications
SKU: 170808 COE: COE96 Format: bag of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Net weight: about 1/2 oz per bag Pattern/motif: deep rose-red heart on a blue field with a pale outer rim Working Notes
Firing temperature and duration affect how far the murrini melt into the base glass. A full fuse brings the slices down completely flush, integrating them smoothly into the surface. A tack fuse leaves them more raised, keeping more of the original form and a slightly textured edge around each heart.
Results vary by kiln, glass thickness, and project configuration. Always fire a small test piece first and adjust your schedule to match your specific glass and equipment before committing to a finished project.
