Each slice in this bag is a deep blue disc carrying a moon and swirl design in a paler blue-white tone. The motif reads as a soft, tone-on-tone pattern within the blue: a moon shape paired with a curving swirl, both a shade lighter than the surrounding glass, giving each slice a quiet, celestial character rather than a hard graphic contrast. Slice sizes vary naturally across the bag.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, so each slice shows the same moon and swirl image. These COE96 slices are used as decorative accents: place them face up on the surface of a fused glass piece and fire them in, where they bond permanently into the base glass. They suit jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments equally well.
What does the motif look like on these slices?
Each slice carries a moon shape and a swirl in a pale blue-white tone set into a deep blue disc. The effect is soft and tone-on-tone, with the same motif and color placement repeating across the bag.
What COE glass must I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE; combining different expansion rates can cause cracking or delamination as the piece cools.
How are these murrini sold?
Sold as a bag of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack. The moon and swirl motif is consistent throughout.
How do I use these slices in a fused glass project?
Place individual slices face up on the surface of your base glass before loading the kiln. They are surface accents, not a casting medium. Arrange them in a repeating pattern, scatter them loosely, or cluster several together as focal points anywhere in the design.

Working Notes
A full fuse will melt these slices flat and flush with the surrounding glass, integrating the moon and swirl motif smoothly into the surface. A tack fuse stops short of full integration and preserves more of the raised relief of each slice, leaving more texture in the finished piece. Both approaches can work depending on the effect you want.
Always fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Match your firing schedule to your specific COE96 glass and kiln, and follow the guidelines from your glass and kiln manufacturers when setting temperatures and ramp rates.
