Millefiori--HMM!
This is a Venetian Pitcher made on the Island of Murano. It is a popular Murano technique called Millefiori (a thousand flowers) which was invented by Murano Glass masters centuries ago. It is crafted entirely by hand and is created from hundreds of unique colorful millefiori pieces fused together under high temperature in a special furnace. We were fortunate to take a tour to this glass factory and watch the masters at work. This little vase is 5" tall and 4" at it's widest part. This shot is taken looking into the pitcher.
