This twisted cane stick shows its character at the cut end: concentric rings of warm golden butterscotch amber alternating with soft creamy french vanilla, radiating out from a small center. The center reads as a rounded or softly squared core depending on the stick. When you slice the cane, every piece you cut carries that same two-tone ring pattern across its face, consistent from one slice to the next.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. This listing is a single twisted cane stick that you slice yourself. Cut cross-section slices to the thickness you want, place them on the surface of a COE90 fused glass piece, and fire them in as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments. Use only with glass of the same COE.
What does the cross-section pattern look like?
The cut end shows concentric rings alternating between warm golden butterscotch and soft creamy french vanilla, radiating from a small rounded or softly squared center. Every slice you cut shows that same two-tone ring pattern across its face, so slices from a single stick stay visually consistent.
What glass do I use with this cane?
This is COE90 glass cane. Use it only with glass of the same COE. Your base glass, frit, stringers, and any other elements should share the same coefficient of expansion; combining different coefficients causes stress and cracking as the piece cools.
How long is the stick, and how many slices will I get?
Each stick is approximately 9 inches long. You cut your own slices from it, so the number depends on how thick you cut each one. Thinner cuts give more slices with a finer look once fused; thicker cuts give fewer, more substantial slices with more visible ring detail.
How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Slice the cane to your preferred thickness with a tile saw or wet saw, then arrange individual slices on the surface of your base glass before firing. The slices are surface accents placed on top, not a casting or mold medium.

Working Notes
How you fire the slices changes their look in the piece. A full fuse brings them level and flush with the surrounding glass, so the ring layers appear smooth and integrated. A tack fuse stops short of full melting and leaves more three-dimensional relief, so the alternating butterscotch and vanilla rings stay slightly raised. Fire a small test piece first, since firing behavior varies with kiln, shelf placement, and the specific COE90 glasses you combine.
