Each slice carries a snowman motif: a rounded figure outlined in blue on a pale white ground, with small dark dots for eyes, thin branch-like arms, and a spot of red near the head that reads as a cap or scarf. Side-cut pieces in the mix show the cane's blue, white, and red bands as simple stripes, adding variety. The motif is compact and reads even on smaller slices, so these work as both fine detail accents and slightly larger focal points.
Murrini, also known as millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the snowman design runs the full length of the cane, so every slice shows the same figure. Place slices flat on the surface of a COE96 fused glass project and fire them in so they become a permanent part of the finished piece, on pendants, earrings, plates, suncatchers, dishes, and ornaments.
What do the slices in this jar look like? A snowman with a rounded blue-and-white body, small dark dot eyes, thin branch-like arms, and a red accent near the head suggesting a cap or scarf. It stays legible across the size range.
What glass is compatible with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Mismatched coefficients of expansion create stress and can crack the piece during cooling, so confirm base glass, frit, and all elements share the same COE.
How many slices come in a jar? Sold as a jar of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so plan your layout around the mix you receive.
How do I use murrini in a fused glass project? Place slices on the surface of your fused glass base before firing. They fuse into the surface and become a permanent part of the finished piece.
Specifications
SKU: 164008 COE: COE96 Format: jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Pattern/motif: snowman in blue and white with dark dot eyes, branch-like arms, and a red accent Working Notes
A full fuse melts the murrini flat and flush into the surface, integrating them smoothly; a tack fuse runs cooler and shorter, leaving the slices slightly raised so they keep more of their shape and texture. Test a small sample in your own kiln first, since results vary with kiln, glass thickness, and the specific COE96 glass, and start from a schedule you have already validated.
