This very complicated technique based upon combining lots of tiny glass mosaic pieces and manipulating them by hand results in pieces that are unique, colorful, and mesmerizing.This fine heart featuring lots of colors and intricate shapes on each little Millefiori piece was crafted entirely by hand in a family workshop on Murano island, which has been specializing in Millefiori for decades. This beautiful and timeless Murano glass sculpture will be an 2024 instant conversation piece in your home or office, and can be used as a decorative display piece or as a functional paperweight. It makes an amazing gift to a special person in your life, who will no doubt appreciate its artistry and fine craftsmanship, and treasure the special bond with Venice.
