Red and Green Maple Murrini/ Millefiore COE96

Most slices show a maple leaf motif: a red, multi-pointed leaf with a small dark green center, set in clear glass. Red also shows at the rim of some slices, and a few pieces read as solid red where they show the side of the cane. The pointed silhouette and the strong red against the clear ground keep the leaf recognizable across slice sizes, a natural choice for autumn pieces, nature-themed jewelry, or any botanical accent.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so the patterned slices reveal the same maple leaf. Place slices on the surface of a COE96 fused glass project and fire them in as decorative accents.

What does the pattern in these slices look like?
A red maple leaf with pointed lobes and a small dark green center on a clear ground. The red-on-clear contrast keeps the motif distinct even at smaller diameters, and some slices carry extra red at the rim.

What glass should I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Always fuse them with glass of the same COE; mixing expansion rates creates thermal stress that can cause cracking, so base glass, sheet glass, and murrini all need to match.

How are these murrini sold?
Sold as a jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The maple leaf motif runs through the whole jar.

How do I incorporate these slices into a fused glass project?
Arrange slices on the surface of your COE96 base glass, such as a pendant, plate, dish, suncatcher, or ornament, and fire them in. They are decorative accents, not a base material.

Working Notes

A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush into the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated surface; a tack fuse leaves them raised, preserving their profile and keeping the leaf edges visible. Test a small sample before a full project, follow the schedule that suits your kiln and COE96 base glass, and adjust based on your results.
