Purple Hip To Be Square Murrini/ Millefiore COE90

These COE90 murrini are square slices with a layered geometric look: a white outer frame surrounds a deep purple square, and a small pale lavender striped block sits at the center of each one. A number of plain white squares appear in the mix as well. The crisp square format and cool purple palette read as modern and graphic against both light and dark base glass.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and every patterned slice carries the same image on its face. Rated COE90, they are placed on the surface of a fused glass project and fired in, adding color and motif to jewelry, plates, suncatchers, dishes, and ornaments.

What does the pattern on these murrini look like?
Nested squares: a white outer frame, a deep purple field, and a small light lavender striped block at the very center. A few plain white squares are mixed in. The square outline sets these apart from round and floral murrini styles.

What glass do I need to fuse these with?
These murrini are COE90. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing coefficients of expansion builds stress into the piece and can cause cracking during or after firing.

How many slices come in a pack?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix of smaller and larger slices gives you fine detail accents and focal pieces from the same jar.

How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices pattern side up on the surface of your base glass, then fire. They are surface accents, not a base layer, so a single square slice can anchor a composition as a focal point or repeat as scattered detail across pendants, small plates, dishes, and suncatchers.

Working Notes

A full fuse melts the slices flat and flush with the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated surface. A tack fuse stops at a lower peak, leaving the slices slightly raised with more defined edges and a subtle dimensional profile. Choose based on the finish you want for the piece.

Fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Kiln behavior, glass thickness, and layout all shift results, so let your own test confirm the schedule for your COE90 glass.
