This single twisted cane stick is worked in French Vanilla and Clear glass. Cut crosswise, the slices reveal warm cream concentric rings built around geometric core shapes that vary along the stick: some show a centered circle or dot, others a square turned on its corner to a diamond, and some a four-pointed star with gently curved points. Because the cane is twisted along its length, each slice presents a slightly rotated view of the same core, so a set of slices holds a single palette while varying in detail.
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 it crosswise into thin sections, set the slices on the surface of a COE90 project, and fire them in as decorative accents.
What does the cross-section look like? The cross-sections show concentric cream rings in French Vanilla and Clear wrapped around geometric cores: centered circles or dots, squares rotated to a diamond, and four-pointed stars. The twist means each slice shows a slightly rotated view of the same core design.
What glass should I use with this cane? This is a COE90 cane stick. Combine the slices only with glass of the same COE. Mixing glass of different expansion rates creates stress that can cause cracking during or after firing.
How long is the stick? This is a single stick approximately 9 inches long. You cut it into slices yourself at whatever thickness your project calls for.
How do I cut and use it? Cut crosswise sections with a tile saw, ring saw, or mosaic nippers, then arrange the slices on your COE90 base glass and fire. A full fuse melts each slice flat and flush with the surrounding glass; a tack fuse leaves each slice raised for more dimension.
Specifications
SKU: 170561 COE: COE90 Format: single twisted cane stick, approximately 9 inches long Colors: French Vanilla and Clear Pattern: twisted concentric rings in French Vanilla and Clear around geometric cores (circles, diamonds, four-pointed stars) Working Notes
Your peak temperature and hold time decide how far each slice melts into the surrounding glass. A full fuse brings the slices completely flat and flush with the surface; a tack fuse stops earlier and preserves a raised, three-dimensional profile. Because every kiln and glass combination behaves differently, fire a test piece first and dial in the schedule before committing to a full project.
