What are Murrine Canes?

There are a few different ways to spell murrine: murrini, murrine, murrhine. They also have been called mosaic canes or rods. These are glass rods or canes with layered colored glass that creates a design that only shows from the ends. When you buy a chip you get a section of the cane and you can cut down this cane piece into several smaller chips that you can then melt into your glass scultpure. This way you can add great details and images to your glass pieces! Make sure that you use borosilicate murrine for hard glass and morretti millefiori for soft glass.

What is Millefiori?

Millefiori is a general term that literally means "A thousand flowers" in Italian. These are murrine canes that are composed of flower images instead of other images like stars, peace symbols, or the Yin Yang (shown below). Most hard glass borosilicate murrine canes are composed of these other symbols and most soft glass Morretti canes have the Millefiori flower images.
