This lovely vase showcases the legendary Murano millefiori technique, where master artisans meticulously create tiny glass "flowers" through an ancient process of layering, heating, and cutting colored glass canes to reveal charming daisy-like patterns against a luminous aqua background. Each murrina represents centuries of Venetian glassmaking tradition, where skilled craftsmen from the island of Murano transform molten glass into these coveted "thousand flowers" that have captivated collectors since the technique's revival in the 16th century.

Millefiori is one of those Murano techniques I never tire of. This aqua vase with its white daisy pattern feels particularly fresh and modern despite the ancient technique. I have one myself and have given many as gifts because the response is always the same: pure delight. Lovely with flowers, but the glass is beautiful enough to stand alone.
