Each slice in this jar shows a cross in a muted mauve that photographs closer to dusty rose, set on a milky white translucent ground. The four arms extend outward from the center toward the edge of each small disc, and the soft, low contrast palette gives the motif a gentle, almost watercolor quality. That restraint is the appeal: these slices layer quietly with both warm and cool surrounding colors instead of shouting over them.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the design runs the full length of the cane, so every slice shows the same cross. Place slices face up on the surface of a COE96 project, such as a pendant, dish, plate, ornament, or suncatcher, then fire them in as accents. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.

Specifications
SKU: 172282 COE: COE96 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern/motif: muted mauve to dusty rose cross on a milky white ground Working Notes
At full fuse temperatures these murrini melt flat and integrate smoothly into the glass surface. At a tack fuse they hold more of their original disc shape and sit slightly proud of the surface, adding texture and dimension. The right choice depends on your kiln, your specific COE96 glass, and the look you are after; always fire a small test piece first.
No single firing schedule suits every kiln or every batch of glass. Follow the schedule suited to your COE96 glass and your setup, using your glass manufacturer's recommended guidelines as a starting reference.
