The Touching Beauty of Handmade Glass Craft: "Millefiori" Magic!

2015.05.27 published

So Beautiful＊ Do You Know "Millefiori"?

Millefiori is a type of glasswork. It has a flower pattern laid out and means "a thousand flowers" in Italian♡

How is it made?

Millefiori is made by slicing glass rods that have flower patterns in them, like Kintaro candy, and arranging them on a glass plate＊

The size of the glass rods, the patterns inside, and how they are arranged are all unique. There is not a single item of Millefiori that is the same!

I Want to Give It as a Gift♡

When the sunlight shines through, it looks like stained glass and is incredibly beautiful♡ The cute Millefiori glasswork makes a wonderful gift for weddings＊ Let me introduce some of the items available ♩
