Millefiori Glass Objects – The Fascination of Thousand Flowers Venetian glasswork techniques are among the highest echelons of craftsmanship the world has ever known. A blend of two Italian words ‘mille’ (thousand) and ‘fiori’ (flowers), millefiori glass making method creates unique patterns on glassware. Primarily practiced by glassmakers on the island of Murano, millefiori technique involves the fusion of multicolor glass canes (known as murrine) by cutting them in a crosswise direction, combining them into novel groups, implanting the groups in crystal clear glass, and blowing the ensuing mass into a preferred shape. Today, it is used to produce different types of objects, including vases, figurines, paperweights, perfume bottles, drinking glasses, earrings, and pendants.
Millefiori Murano glass vases will make a beautiful addition to any home. Some of these vases are full of striking colors and can be little extravagant. However, certain artists implant just a small number of flowers into a transparent blown Murano glass vase to produce attractive, uncomplicated pieces of art that would match any room decor. You can find vases in a combination of two or more colors and eye-catching patterns.
