Murano Glass Bead Blown and Sculpted Disc 40mm White and Black with Millefiori

These blown beads are gallery quality, they are the latest from Murano a creation of our blower. They are large approximately 40mm in diameter and about 12-14mm thick. These require two different techniques to achieve the end results. They are first blown in the traditonal methods attaching the millefiori to the beads in the process. The finished bead is then taken to the grinding wheel where the glass is ground to expose the millefiori underneath and to give it a textured appearance. No two ever exactly alike. These are limited in quantity. The base color in this one is the black which is exposed beneath the white in the grinding. Aventurina filigrana is in the window.
