Millefiori, which translates from the Italian as "a thousand flowers" is a method of decorating glass with slices of coloured canes in flower design, embedded in clear molten glass. The technique was known as far back as the first century BC and was revived and modified in Venice in the 16th century. The process was used to make paperweights in Venice and Bohemia in the 19th century, and the technique spread to France, England and the United States.
