White Angel Murrini/ Millefiore COE96

Each slice in this jar shows a small winged angel figure on a vivid cobalt blue ground. The figure is made of light glass that reads pale blue white against the deep field, a soft glow rather than a stark cutout, and the round disc frames it cleanly on all sides. Slices vary slightly in size and thickness, which gives the jar a handmade character while the motif stays consistent piece to piece.

Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the design runs the full length of the cane, so every slice carries the same angel. Place slices on the surface of a COE96 project, such as a pendant, plate, suncatcher, dish, or holiday ornament, and fire them in as accents. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.

What does the angel motif look like in these slices?
Each round slice shows a light angel figure with outstretched wings on a cobalt blue ground. The figure reads pale blue white against the saturated field, so the motif is gentle rather than high contrast, and it shows most clearly on the larger slices in the jar.

What glass COE should I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Use them only with glass of the same COE, and confirm that your base glass and any frit or other components share that rating. Mismatched expansion rates create stress that can crack the piece during or after firing.

How many slices come in a pack?
These are sold as a jar of assorted slices. Sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so every jar holds a natural mix of diameters.

How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your unfired COE96 piece, then fire. These murrini are surface accents, not a base layer. A full fuse melts each slice flat and flush into the surrounding glass; a tack fuse stops earlier, leaving the slices slightly raised with more of their profile intact.

Working Notes

A full fuse brings these murrini down flat and flush with the glass surface, blending the angel figure smoothly into the piece. A tack fuse leaves more surface relief and keeps the motif visually distinct from the base glass below. Choose based on how much texture suits the finished design.

Fire a small test sample before committing to a full project. Match your ramp rate, target temperature, and hold times to your specific glass and kiln rather than relying on a generic schedule; testing first lets you dial in the result before working on a larger piece.
