Each slice in this jar is a small square tile: a white to pale gray ground framing a plum-purple square outline at the center, aligned with the outer edges for a clean nested square-in-square motif. The geometry repeats consistently from slice to slice, and the muted purple against the light ground gives these murrini a graphic, architectural look that holds its character at any size in the jar.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so each slice carries the same pattern through its face. These COE96 slices are used as decorative accents: place them on the surface of a fused glass project such as a pendant, plate, dish, or suncatcher, then fire them so each slice fuses into the glass beneath it.

Specifications
SKU: 170815 COE: COE96 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Pattern/motif: nested square-in-square, plum-purple outline on white Working Notes
A full fuse will bring each murrini level with the surrounding glass, creating a smooth, flush surface where the square motif reads as an inlaid tile. A tack fuse preserves more of the original slice height and gives the finished piece a raised, textured look. Neither approach is universally better: the right result depends on your kiln, your glass stack thickness, and the surface quality you want.
Always fire a small test piece first to see how these slices respond in your specific setup before committing to a larger project.
