Turquoise Hip To Be Square Murrini/ Millefiore COE96

These square slices carry a crisp concentric design: a turquoise blue outer border, a dark green inner band, and a bright yellow green center square marked with a small dark point at its middle. The geometry is clean and consistent from slice to slice, so they tile neatly in orderly rows or scatter well across a project surface, and the contrast between the cool turquoise edge and the sharp yellow green center keeps each piece graphic and readable at small scale.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so every slice reveals the identical motif. These are COE96 murrini for use as decorative surface accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments: place individual slices on the surface of a fused glass project and fire them in. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.

What does the pattern on these murrini look like?
Each slice shows a set of nested squares: turquoise blue on the outside, a dark green band in the middle, and a bright yellow green square at the center with a small dark point at its heart. The layered geometry is bold and consistent from slice to slice.

What glass must I fuse these with?
These are COE96 murrini. Combine them only with glass of the same COE. Pairing mismatched coefficients of expansion introduces stress as the piece cools, which can lead to cracking or breakage.

How many slices come in a jar?
These are sold as a jar of assorted slices, and slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The size range lets you tile larger slices into geometric grids and use smaller ones as scattered accents.

How do I incorporate these into a fused glass piece?
Lay individual slices face up on the surface of your base glass before firing. They are not a base layer but surface accents. A full fuse will melt them flat and flush with the surrounding glass so they integrate smoothly. A tack fuse stops short of full melt and preserves more of their raised character, letting the layered squares sit slightly proud of the surface.

Working Notes

Your firing schedule determines how these murrini settle into the glass. A full fuse melts the slices level with the surrounding surface, blending them smoothly into the piece. A tack fuse preserves more of their raised profile and keeps the layered square geometry more visually distinct. Both are valid approaches depending on the look you are after.

Test a small sample piece before committing a full project. Results vary with kiln model, shelf position, glass thickness, and the specific COE96 glass you are using. There is no single universal schedule, so dial in your settings based on your own materials and equipment.
