Record Type: concept
murrhine glass (glassware, <visual works by material or technique>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Decorative glassware in which metal particles, precious stones, or other materials are embedded in the glass. Particularly used to describe ancient Roman glass. For a distinctive kind of ornamental glass, similar to millefiore, made by fusing together rods of variously colored glass and then cutting the fused rods into cross-sections, use "mosaic glass." Also, although the names are similar and sometimes confused, murrhine glass differs from “Murano glass."

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Decoratief glaswerk waarbij metaaldeeltjes, edelstenen of andere materialen in het glas zijn geplaatst. De term wordt vooral gebruikt voor oud-Romeins glas. Gebruik 'mozaïekglas' voor een ander soort sierglas, dat op millefiore lijkt, en dat is gemaakt door staafjes verschillend gekleurd glas samen te smelten en hier dan dwarsdoorsneden uit te snijden. In het Engels lijken de termen 'murrhine glass' en 'Murano glass' op elkaar, waardoor de begrippen soms worden verward, maar Muranoglas is iets anders.
