About the millefiori technique
Strictly speaking, millefiori is a glassmaking technique that produces distinctive decorative patterns in glassware. The term is a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers). It is traditionally associated with Venetian, Murano glassware. The technique involves the production of glass rods (murrine) with multicolored patterns that can be seen from the ends, where the flowers are located. These rods are heated in the kiln and thinned, to finally be cut into thin discs or beads, which are inserted into the objects to be decorated. Over time, it has come to be recognized as a style in its own right, as objects of this type can be traced back to Roman times.
