This single twisted cane stick is worked in vanilla cream, soft celadon, and clear glass, twisted so the layers spiral along its length. Cut crosswise, each slice shows a pale cream center, often with a soft square or rounded-square inner core, surrounded by concentric rings of celadon and clear that coil outward in a gentle spiral. The palette is muted and restrained, with warm ivory, a soft sage green, and translucent clear.
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 COE96 project, and fire them in as decorative accents.
What does the cross-section look like? Each slice reveals a vanilla cream or white center, often with a soft square inner core, ringed by concentric bands of celadon and clear glass. Because the cane is twisted, each successive slice shows the pattern rotated slightly, so no two slices are identical.
What glass should I use with this cane? This is a COE96 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 COE96 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: 181957 COE: COE96 Format: single twisted cane stick, approximately 9 inches long Colors: vanilla cream, celadon, and clear Pattern: twisted cane, pale cream center with a square or rounded-square core, ringed by celadon and clear spiral bands 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.
