Lesson plan
Murrine
Murrine (singular: murrina) are colored patterns or images made in a glass cane that are revealed when the cane is cut into thin cross-sections. Murrine can be made in infinite designs from simple circular or square patterns to complex detailed designs and even portraits. One familiar style is the flower or star shape which. When large numbers of murrine with a flower-like pattern are used to decorate a glass object, the result is called millefiori (an Italian word which translates literally to "a thousand flowers.")
