Millefiori , (Italian: “thousand flowers”), is a Glasswork Technique used to make a type of mosaic glassware characterized by a flowerlike pattern. It is produced by first heating a bundle of thin glass rods of different colours until the rods fuse together. The bundle is pulled thin, cooled, and sliced cross-sectionally to produce small disks with flowerlike designs. These disks are applied to hot blown glass to make a wide variety of gassware , jewelry and beads all with the distinctive look of Millefiori Glass .
