This single twisted cane stick is formed in warm orange and yellow. Cut crosswise, each slice reveals a ring of tight concentric bands around the outer edge, grading from deep amber-orange at the perimeter inward to a brighter golden orange-yellow. At the center sits a form that shifts between oval and hourglass shapes from slice to slice as the twist rotates, with fine vertical lines of color running through it. The result is a compact, graphic cross-section.
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? Each slice shows tight concentric rings of amber-orange around the outer edge, enclosing a brighter orange-yellow center. The central form shifts between oval and hourglass shapes from slice to slice as the twist rotates, with thin vertical lines of color running through it.
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: 162666 COE: COE90 Format: single twisted cane stick, approximately 9 inches long Colors: orange and yellow Pattern: twisted cane cross-section, concentric amber-orange rings around a brighter orange-yellow center that shifts between oval and hourglass shapes 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.
