Millefiori is a special artisan technique that is used almost exclusively in the manufacture of glass. In German often referred to as thread glass, Millefiori refers to the incorporation of white or other colored elements in clear glass, whereby patterns and designs are produced. Technically, thread glass can be produced in that the already heated glass mass is deformed according to the ideas of the artisan and this differently colored glass fibers are incorporated into the glass mass. Afterwards, the glassblower has the possibility to make certain deformations of the glass by the manual intervention afterwards and to provide this eg with regular patterns. The technique of millefiori was already known in antiquity and was even then used for aesthetic purposes, for example, to make glass vases or drinking vessels visually even more beautiful. Over the centuries, different variants of the millefiori have emerged in the different art epochs, even after the Second World War, the artistic design was further reinforced in Italy. Since glasses and vases made of millefiori are real crafts, these decorative elements continue to be of particular value and are more festive than everyday use. In addition to this real millefiori, there are also industrially produced mass-produced, which has taken over only the designs of the original Millefiori.
