How is a millefiori pendant (art and history)
Many glass working techniques involving the manipulation of a glass mass cast at the end of a metal rod. Old glass workers amasses a stained glass bubble-shaped stick, and then insert it into molten glass of different colors, so that the layers of glass of different colors would be built. A cross section of the rod show a pattern of concentric rings of color, and this was used for cutting the rod into disks, and then merge in glassware to form a pattern.
These bars are called Murrine, and it is believed the technique for its preparation was brought to Venice by the Byzantine glass workers, fleeing Constantinople after the defeat in the fourth crusade. Soon after, Venice glass workers were confined to the island of Murano because of the risk of fire in their ovens. With so many skilled glass in an enclosed space intended to become Murano a center of excellence for art glassware that came to dominate the market for several hundred years.
Towards the end of the 15th century, Marietta Barovier, daughter of the most important glass worker Maestro Angelo Barovier, pioneered a technique that formed a pattern of stars in the center of the design. The glass rod pressed molten metal into a mold to make it a star-shaped rod, which was then fired in a cylindrical mold filled with powdered glass of a different color. This restored the cylindrical shape, with the star shape into the center.
Different patterns of the mold were added, which leads to petal designs that characterize millefiori Murano glass. Murrine are quite short, thick first Once made, usually about 6 inches long and 3 inches in diameter, which are drawn to make a longer rod with a smaller diameter. On repeated Sometimes cutting the rod and the drawing again, it is possible to scale down the design as small as desired.
During the peak of the revival of production Murano Glass, Murrine is mostly used for making decorative spheres, glass beads, and sticks. Classical title = "glassofvenice"> millefiori jewelry arrived later, but not before a dark period in the history of Murano.
In the 18th century, Napoleon imposed Hard taxes in Murano glass, I wanted to crush the industry for political reasons. Only a handful of furnaces remained open, making what could happen skills in making glass to successive generations.
Foreign control of the area, finally weakened in early 1800, and exploited workers Murano glass from the distractions of politics the period of rebuilding its industry. It was in this period Murano Millefiori designs began to appear, shaped millefiori millefiori pendants and other jewelry.
Millefiori is an Italian word which means "thousand flowers." It first appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary 1849, this gives an indication of when the revival of the art became publicly known outside the circles of Venice glassmaking.
millefiori pendants are made by taking thin slices taken Murrine, and arranging them in a circle on a disk-shaped mold. The gaps are filled with glass powder before baking in an oven to melt the entire design in one piece glass. Similar techniques are used for other millefiori jewelry items, in particular, cufflinks and earrings. Millefiori glass is also used for other ornaments, the intestines and plates.
The molds in the heart of millefiori glass manufacturing are fixed, but the designs they produce are completely unique. The colors used, the number of layers added, the way you draw Murrine to say nothing of the liquid nature of molten glass, means that each has its own Murrine individual characteristics. Then cut sections Murrine are selected and placed by hand to form the overall design millefiori, with the final shot adding your own bit of randomness element in the myriad of millefiori patterns. No two millefiori glass pieces are identical, adding to the attraction of beautifully colored designs.
