Murrine Millefiori Original Made in Italy

ORIGINAL MADE in ITALY


Murrine (common pluralization murrini) is an Italian term for colored patterns or images made in a glass cane (long rods of glass) that are revealed when cut in cross-sections.
Murrine can be made in infinite designs—some styles are more familiar, such as millefiore.
Artists working in glass design murrine in a variety of ways from simple circular or square patterns to complex detailed designs to even portraits of people.
Murrine are designed by layering different colors of molten glass around a core, then heating and stretching it into a rod.
When cool, the rod is sliced into cross-sections of desired thickness with each slice possessing the same pattern in cross-section.

Millefiori is a glasswork technique which produces distinctive decorative patterns on glassware.
The term millefiori is a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers)
