This twisted cane shows a deep red outer ring around a center of yellow, cream, or clear glass. At the cut end most cross-sections read as a red-ringed circle or dot-in-ring, while the twist draws some of the pattern into a soft four-lobed star. The exact cross-section varies along the stick, so slices range from simple ringed circles to gentle star motifs in warm red, yellow, cream, and clear tones.
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 slices to the thickness you want, place them pattern-side up on the surface of a COE90 fused glass piece, and fire them in as accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, suncatchers, and ornaments. Use only with glass of the same COE.
What does the cross-section pattern look like? A deep red outer ring around a yellow, cream, or clear center. Most slices read as a red-ringed circle, some as a soft four-lobed star where the twist draws the pattern inward. The pattern varies along the stick, so slices differ from one another.
What glass do I use with this cane? This is COE90 glass cane. Use it only with glass of the same COE. A different coefficient of expansion causes thermal stress and cracking as the piece cools.
How long is the stick, and how many slices will I get? About 9 inches long. You cut your own slices, so the number depends on thickness: thinner cuts give more slices with a finer look, thicker cuts give fewer with more visible detail.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Cut cross-section slices and place them pattern-side up on the surface of your COE90 base glass, then fire so they fuse in as accents.
Specifications
SKU: 181953 COE: COE90 Form: single twisted cane stick, for cutting your own slices Length: approximately 9 inches Pattern: twisted cane, red outer ring around a yellow, cream, or clear center; some slices show a soft four-lobed star Working Notes
Your firing profile determines how much the slices flow into the surrounding glass. A full fuse brings them down smooth and flush; a tack fuse holds back before full flow, keeping each slice higher and the ring or star motif crisp. Fire a small test on a sample tile first, and match your schedule to your specific COE90 glass and kiln.
