Millefiori glass is a decorative glass that gets its name from the Italian thousand flowers and features a distinctive flower-like pattern. The technique involves heating and fusing bundles of colored glass rods into a thick rod, which is then sliced into small disks called murrine . These disks are applied to hot glass, reheated, and then blown to create a brilliantly colored, intricately designed piece of glassware. After that this was acid washed to get that satin texture and look.
