These snowflake murrini are round discs in a deep cobalt blue, each one carrying a branching snowflake design that radiates outward from a central point. The snowflake reads as a subtle tone-on-tone pattern within the blue rather than a high-contrast image, giving each slice a quiet, wintry character. Slice sizes in the jar vary, so you get a natural mix of larger and smaller discs to work with.
Murrini, also spelled millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice reveals the same snowflake motif. Place individual slices on the surface of your COE96 fused glass project and fire them in place as decorative accents on jewelry pieces, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What pattern do these murrini show? Each slice features a branching snowflake motif set into a cobalt blue disc. The arms radiate from a central point in a geometric, crystalline arrangement, rendered in a tone close to the surrounding blue, so the effect is subtle rather than boldly graphic.
What COE glass should I use with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glasses with different expansion rates creates stress in the finished piece and can lead to cracking.
How are these murrini sold? Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The mix includes both smaller and larger discs.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Place individual slices on the surface of your prepared COE96 glass base, then fire the piece in your kiln. The murrini function as surface accents, not a base layer, and they bond to the surface as the kiln reaches temperature.

SKU: 153832 COE: COE96 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Motif: tone-on-tone snowflake in a cobalt blue disc Working Notes
The final look of your piece depends on how far you carry the fuse. A full fuse brings the murrini flat and flush into the surface of your base glass, creating a smooth, integrated finish. A tack fuse stops short of full melting and leaves the slices slightly raised, preserving their dimensional texture and the individual disc shape.
Always test a small sample piece before committing to a full project. Firing schedules vary with kiln type, glass thickness, and the specific COE96 glasses you are working with, so match your ramp rate, hold times, and annealing schedule to your materials and equipment.
