Present Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

Each slice in this jar shows a small red wrapped present on a deep green ground. The motif reads as a gift box with bold crosshatch ribbon lines crossing the red center, and depending on where the slice was cut along the cane, some pieces show a dotted bow detail along the top of the box. The clean contrast between vivid red and surrounding green keeps the design recognizable at the small scale of each slice, making these easy to arrange on a glass surface and identify in the finished piece.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice reveals the same wrapped-present picture. These COE90 murrini are placed individually on the surface of a fused glass project and fired in as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, ornaments, suncatchers, plates, and dishes.

What does the motif on these murrini look like?
Each slice shows a red gift box with crosshatch ribbon lines, set against a green ground; some slices include a dotted bow detail at the top of the box. The high-contrast color pairing keeps the wrapped-present shape clearly readable once the slices are fused into a glass piece, even at small sizes.

What kind of glass can I fuse these with?
These are COE90 murrini. Use them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing expansion rates causes stress during heating and cooling, which can lead to cracking, so confirm your base glass matches before adding these slices to a project.

How are these murrini sold?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The gift box motif is consistent throughout the assortment.

How do I use these murrini in a fused glass project?
Place individual slices face-up on the surface of your prepared glass piece before firing. They rest on top of the glass until the kiln run fuses them in place. A full fuse will melt the slices flat and flush with the surface for a smooth, integrated look, while a tack fuse leaves them slightly raised so the gift box motif stays more three-dimensional.

Working Notes

Firing approach affects how these slices look in the finished piece. A full fuse brings the murrini flat and flush into the glass surface, creating a smooth and fully embedded finish. A tack fuse preserves more of the raised profile, keeping the wrapped-present motif more visually distinct. Results vary by kiln, glass, and target temperature, so there is no single correct schedule for every setup.

Always fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Follow the fusing recommendations for your specific COE90 glass and calibrate to your kiln rather than relying on a generic temperature chart.
