Did you know?
Millefiori, Italian for “thousand flowers,” describes the ancient glass-making technique later revived by Venetian artisans.
Description
Mosaic glass, also called millefiori, was cast in a two-part mold. Fused glass rods of different colors were bundled together into patterns, then sliced into disk-shaped cross sections. These were placed within the mold and heated until fused. After cooling, the vessel’s surface was fire- or wheel-polished.
