How Venetian Murrina is produced in Murano, Italy

Millefiori

The millefiori technique involves the production of glass canes or rods, known as murrine with multicolored patterns which are viewable only from the cut ends of the cane. A murrine rod is heated in a furnace and pulled until thin while still maintaining the cross section's design. It is then cut into beads or discs when cooled

An ancient technique, dating back to the beginning of ‘900 and nowadays used only by the master glass-makers of Murrano to create beautiful, unique glasswork.
