Each slice in this bag shows a five pointed star in a bright, warm red, set on a clear to pale pink translucent ground. The star fills most of the face of the slice, so the silhouette stays bold at the larger diameters and reads as a tidy accent at the smaller ones. Slices seen edge on read as solid orange red, the color of the star core running through the cane.
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 star. These COE90 slices are placed on the surface of a COE90 project and fired in as accents on pendants, earring blanks, 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 slices look like?
Each piece shows a centered five pointed star in warm red against a clear to pale pink translucent surround. Because the ground is mostly transparent, the star picks up the color of whatever base glass sits beneath it, which makes these especially effective on white or light bases where the red stays crisp.
What COE glass do these murrini require?
These are COE90 murrini. Use them only with base glass of the same COE. Pairing glass with different expansion rates puts stress on the finished piece and can cause cracking during or after firing.
How many slices come in a pack?
These are sold as a bag of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, giving you a natural range of diameters to work with in a single composition.
How are murrini used in a fused glass project?
Place individual slices face up on the surface of your COE90 base glass, arrange them as you like, and fire according to your kiln schedule. They work as standalone accents or in grouped arrangements on pendants, tiles, plates, and ornaments.

Working Notes
The firing schedule determines how the slices settle. A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush with the base glass for a smooth, integrated look. A tack fuse runs at a lower peak and shorter hold, leaving the slices with more of their raised profile. Both approaches are valid depending on the surface texture you want.
Test a small sample before committing to a full project. Kiln characteristics, base glass thickness, and the specific COE90 system you use all affect the result, so build your schedule around your own setup.
