Each slice in this pack shows a red maple leaf centered on a white to clear background. The multi-lobed leaf is crisply defined and fills the face of each slice, creating a high-contrast motif that reads clearly even on the smaller pieces. Slices vary in size across the pack, giving you a natural range that works whether you are scattering them across a larger piece or placing them one at a time as focal accents.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice reveals the same maple leaf image. Place individual slices face up on the surface of a COE96 glass base and fire the piece so the murrini fuse into the surface. They serve as decorative accents in pendants, earrings, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What does the motif in these murrini look like?
Each slice shows a red maple leaf set against a white to clear background. The leaf shape is clean and well centered, giving every slice a graphic, easy to read character that stands out on a fused glass surface, especially in autumn themed work.
What COE glass do I need to use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini and must be fused only with glass of the same COE. Using glass with a different coefficient of expansion can cause cracking or delamination during cooling, so matching COE is essential.
How many slices come in a pack?
These murrini are sold as a bag of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. Each bag holds a mix of sizes for focal points and fill.
Do I have to fully melt these in, or can I keep them raised on the surface?
Both are possible. A full fuse will melt the murrini flush and flat into the surrounding glass. A tack fuse stops short of that, leaving each slice slightly raised and preserving more of its dimensional character. The right choice depends on the effect you want and your specific glass and kiln setup.

Working Notes
A full fuse brings these murrini level with the glass surface for a smooth, flat finish. A tack fuse leaves them sitting slightly proud of the surface and retains more of their raised detail and depth. The right firing profile depends on your kiln, your base glass, and the result you are after. Always test a small sample piece before committing to a full firing, and adjust your schedule to match your own equipment and materials.
