| Technique |

The most extraordinary Murrina Work.
Very few people are capable of
achieving this precision. The thin, colored glass rods are stacked against the drawing to be
created in Glass. The resulting thick cold cylinder is heated then
pulled into a thin cylinder (called Murrina Cane). The cane is cut
in cross sections to get several of the Murrinas (in coin or square
shapes) shown on the left.
From most canes between 50 and 100 good Murrinas can be obtained. |
