Each slice in this jar reveals a snowflake motif worked in opaque white and transparent clear glass. The design radiates from a white center hub, with spoke like arms extending outward symmetrically to fill each disc. The white on clear palette gives every slice a soft, frosty quality; the pattern shows most clearly when placed over colored or dark base glass, where the arms read crisply against the background.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and every slice shows the same pattern that runs the full length of the cane. These are COE96 murrini, made to be used alongside glass of the same COE. To use them, place individual slices on the surface of a fused glass project and fire them in the kiln so they bond to the base. They work as decorative accents on jewelry pendants, small plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What does the snowflake design look like on these slices? Each slice shows a symmetrical, radial snowflake with white spokes fanning out from a central hub into a clear glass background. The contrast is gentle rather than bold, so the snowflakes take on the character of frost; over a colored base they become clearly defined.
What COE glass do I need to fuse these with? These are COE96 murrini. Pair them only with glass of the same COE throughout your project. Using glass with a different coefficient of expansion creates stress as the piece cools and can cause cracking or delamination. Keep every component in your project at the same COE.
How many slices come in a jar? Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The size mix suits scattered snowfall effects as well as single accent flakes on pendants and ornaments.
How do I place and fire these slices in a fused glass project? Arrange individual murrini on the surface of your COE96 base glass before loading the kiln. They serve as decorative surface accents rather than a structural layer. A full fuse will melt each slice flat and flush with the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated finish. A tack fuse fires to a lower peak and preserves more of the slice's original raised height for a more dimensional result.
Specifications
SKU: 170181 COE: COE96 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary Pattern: white and clear snowflake with radiating arms Working Notes
Your firing schedule determines how these murrini look in the finished piece. A full fuse melts each slice down into the base glass so the snowflake pattern sits level with the surrounding surface. A tack fuse keeps more of the slice's original thickness, leaving the snowflakes slightly raised for a three dimensional effect.
Because the palette is white on clear, choose your base color deliberately: the flakes nearly disappear over white and stand out over blues, darks, and saturated colors. Kiln behavior varies by equipment and glass batch, so fire a small test piece before working on a full project.
