White Star Murrini/ Millefiore COE96

Each slice in this jar shows a five pointed star in opaque white, set on a clear to milky translucent ground. The contrast is quiet and tone on tone rather than bold, which gives the motif a clean, understated character. On a dark or richly colored base the white star stands out sharply while the translucent surround nearly disappears, so these slices reward placement on deep blues, blacks, and jewel tones as much as on pale glass.

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 shows the same star. Place slices on the surface of a COE96 project, such as a pendant, plate, dish, suncatcher, or ornament, then fire them in as accents. Sold as a jar of assorted slices; slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack.

What does the pattern on these murrini look like?
Each slice shows a five pointed white star on a clear to milky translucent ground. The subtle palette suits winter themes, night sky designs, and any project that calls for a simple, classic star without heavy color contrast.

What COE glass must I use with these murrini?
These are COE96 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Mixing incompatible expansion rates introduces stress into the finished piece and can cause cracking over time.

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 you get a natural mix of diameters in every jar.

How do I use murrini in a fused glass project?
Place individual slices on the surface of your prepared COE96 glass piece before firing. Arrange them as a border, scatter them across the surface, or use a single slice as a focal point in a small pendant or ornament. They are decorative surface accents, not a glass base.

Working Notes

How far you fuse these murrini changes their finished look. A full fuse melts each slice flat and flush into the surface, integrating the star smoothly into the piece. A tack fuse stops short of full integration, leaving the slices with raised dimension and keeping the star visible from the side.

Always test a small sample before committing to a full project. Firing outcomes vary with kiln, shelf position, and the specific COE96 glass you use, so match the schedule to your own equipment and materials.
