Each slice in this bag shows a cross in lavender to violet, centered on a translucent white ground. The strokes have a slightly freehand character, with softly feathered edges that keep the motif from feeling mechanical, and the shade shifts naturally across the bag from pale lavender to a more saturated violet. The light ground keeps the design airy, so these slices sit comfortably on both pale and richly colored bases.
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 on the surface of a COE90 project and fire them in as accents on pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments. Sold as a bag of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like?
Each slice shows a cross in lavender to violet on a translucent white ground. The color varies slice to slice within that purple range, which gives a grouped arrangement gentle, natural variation while keeping the motif consistent.
What COE glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE90 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Pairing glass with mismatched expansion rates can lead to stress and cracking as the piece cools.
How many slices come in a pack?
These are sold as a bag of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so plan compositions around a natural mix of diameters rather than a fixed count.
How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Place individual slices on the surface of your prepared COE90 glass piece before firing. A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush with the surface; a tack fuse preserves more of their raised profile. The right choice depends on the finished look you want.

Working Notes
A full fuse brings these murrini flat and smooth with the surrounding glass, integrating the cross design cleanly into the finished piece. A tack fuse keeps more of their raised, rounded profile, adding subtle dimension to the surface. Choose based on the visual effect the project needs.
Fire a test piece before committing a full project to a schedule. Results vary with kiln, glass thickness, and the specific COE90 glass you are using, so match ramp rates and hold times to your own materials and equipment.
