Each slice in this jar is a translucent medium blue round carrying soft white moon and star motifs. The white sits within the blue as wispy, understated accents rather than sharp graphics, so the overall effect is a quiet night-sky tone rather than high contrast. Expect natural variation from slice to slice: some show more distinct pale shapes, others read mostly as swirled blue with hints of white. Slice diameters vary across the jar, giving you a range of accent sizes for filling a composition.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane. To use them, place individual slices directly on the surface of a COE96 base glass piece and fire them in. They function as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, suncatchers, dishes, and ornaments, and they are especially suited to pieces where you want subtle tonal texture rather than bold imagery.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like? Each slice is a translucent medium blue round with soft white moon and star motifs set within the glass. The imagery is subtle and varies from slice to slice, so these work best as atmospheric accents: scattered across a blue or dark base they build a gentle celestial texture.
What COE glass do I need to use with these murrini? These are COE96 murrini. They must be fused only with glass of the same COE. Combining incompatible coefficients of expansion creates thermal stress during heating and cooling and can cause cracking.
How many slices come in a jar? Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The assortment includes a natural spread of diameters.
How do I use these in a fused glass project? Arrange individual slices on the surface of your COE96 base glass, then fire according to your kiln and glass requirements. A full fuse melts the slices down flush with the surrounding surface, letting the blue spread slightly for a smooth, integrated result. A tack fuse keeps the slices more raised and preserves more of their individual shape. Test a small sample first to confirm the outcome before loading a full project.
Specifications
SKU: 170254 COE: COE96 Pack: jar of assorted slices; sizes and counts vary from pack to pack Pattern/motif: soft white moon and star motifs in translucent medium blue Working Notes
At a full fuse, these murrini melt flat and blend into the surrounding glass surface, letting the blue and white soften slightly for a smooth, unified look. At a tack fuse, the slices retain more height and their motifs stay more distinct, giving the finished piece more surface texture and dimension. Because the imagery is subtle, these slices reward placement over lighter or contrasting bases where the blue reads clearly.
Always fire a test piece before committing to a full project. Results vary depending on your kiln, your firing schedule, and the specific COE96 glass you are working with.
