Fragment of a vessel. A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. In violet glass, three types of flowers in millefiori technology can be seen: one is in a white "honeycomb", followed by a red ring. In it you see the flowering with your red core and white outrangled petals. For others lay around a (from the inside) white and violet core as petals white outstretched red dots. At the third type, a (from the inside) white and violet core white edged petals in double row lay. For the production, different colored glasses were shaped to tubes and rods.

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 in a vascular shape, a model, pressed. Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.
