The manufacture of mosaic beads can be traced to Ancient Roman, Phoenician and Alexandrian times. Canes, probably made in Italy, have been found as far away as 8th century archaeological sites in Ireland. Millefiori beads have been uncovered from digs at Sandby borg, Öland, Sweden, dating apparently from the late 5th or early 6th century. A piece of millefiori was found, along with unworked garnets, in a purse at the early 7th century Anglo-Saxon burial site at Sutton Hoo.Roman millefiori beadThe technical knowledge for creating millefiori was lost by the eighteenth century, and the technique was not revived until the nineteenth century.Within several years of the technique's rediscovery, factories in Italy, France and England were manufacturing millefiori canes.They were often incorporated into fine glass art paperweights.Until the 15th century, Murano glass makers were only producing drawn Rosetta beads made from molded Rosetta canes. Rosetta beads are made by the layering of a variable number of layers of glass of various colors in a mold, and by pulling the soft glass from both ends until the cane has reached the desired thickness. It is then cut into short segments for further processing.Millefiori is an Italian word meaning “a thousand flowers”. Millefiori Style Murano Glass Beads, are also called mosaic beads throughout the world; are popular due to their historical significance and beautiful designs. The millefiori technique involves handmade glass canes or rods, with multicolored patterns, which are viewable only at the cross section of the cane. The rod is heated in a furnace and pulled until thin while still maintaining the design. Then it is cut into beads or discs when the rod has cooled.
