A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. In violet glass, two forms of flowers in millefiori technology are shown. The one consists of a white point in the middle to surround the yellow contours closely adjacent petals, the others from a narrow-turned spiral as a core and white edged blue dots as petals. On a border are distorted strips in blue to white color. For the production, different colored glasses into tubes and rods were formed. These were compressed and heated, causing a long bar. The glass sliced now had different amorphous or floral patterns. Thereafter, several of these platelets were folded together, heated again and pressed into the vascular shape. Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.tumbled sandy Jasper gemstone on dark macro shooting of natural mineral rock specimen - tumbled sandy Jasper gemstone on dark granite background Copyright: xZoonar.com/ValeryxVoennyyx 11383492piece of red silk isolated on white backgroundSilvery pine cone and tinsel as decoration for ChristmasBlue mineralAutumn or fall composition or concept and word AutumnLA LUZ QUE SE APAGA -1997- CERA/OLEO.
