Each slice in this bag carries a compact night sky scene: a pale crescent moon and small scattered stars set in a royal blue center, framed by a white inner ring and a blue outer edge. The moon and stars read white to pale blue against the saturated ground, and the smallest slices may show just the stars, keeping the celestial theme consistent across the whole bag.
Murrini, also known as millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so each slice exposes the same design. Place individual slices on the surface of your fused glass project and fire them in the kiln, where they bond to the base glass as permanent accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments. Sold as a bag of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.
What pattern do these murrini show?
A pale crescent moon and small stars in a royal blue center, with a white ring framing the design inside a blue outer edge. On the smallest slices the stars may appear without the moon.
What COE glass should I use with these?
These are COE90 murrini. Combine them only with base glass of the same COE. Mixing coefficients of expansion introduces thermal stress that can cause cracking as the piece cools.
How many slices come in a bag?
Sold as a bag of assorted slices. Larger slices show the full moon and stars scene, while smaller ones scatter as starry filler.
How do I incorporate these into a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your base glass, then fire. They are surface accents, not a base layer. A full fuse melts them flush and flat; a tack fuse preserves more of their raised profile. See the Working Notes below.

Working Notes
At a full fuse, these murrini melt flat into the surface, blending the moon and star pattern smoothly. At a tack fuse, they keep more height and a rounded, raised look, staying visually distinct above the base. The choice depends on the surface texture and depth you want.
Always fire a small test piece first. Kiln behavior, base glass thickness, and layering all affect the outcome. Match your firing schedule to your specific COE90 glass and kiln rather than following a generic ramp.
