Murrine is a type of glass characteristic of the island of Murano, famous for its long tradition of glassmaking. The term “murrina” derives from the Latin “murrha,” meaning myrrh, a perfume used in ancient times.
This technique was rediscovered and refined in the 19th century.
Murrine are made by melting different colors of glass from crucibles. The glass is placed in concentric layers on an iron rod. The rod is then stretched to give the glass a cylindrical shape. Once cooled, the cylinder is cut into cross-sections, revealing colorful designs.
