Part 1 of 3: Is it milli, murrine, or millifiore?

It's most commonly referred to as milli(s)...have you started a collection?

Murrine (plural murrini) is Italian, defined as colored patterns or images made in a glass cane (long rods of glass) that are revealed when cut in cross-sections.
Millefiore, is a glasswork style word, derived from a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers).
Marbles are the original attraction, with artists showcasing their millefiore skill.



And now growing in popularity, murrine rods/chips, with complex and detailed images, even portraits of characters and people.

420 culture fueled collectable appeal, as glass artists add style to our smokeware; you probably have or at least seen something with milli art like this...
