 The Murrina is the result of the cutting of a rod of glass of different colors executed by assembling glass, in order to perform a defined pattern. It can have different sizes, from a few millimeters to a few centimeters, depending on usage and the result more suited to master glassmaker.

In the Glass Museum in Murano you can see some combinations of different colored glasses which are very similar to modern murrine, but come from Roman excavations if the Phoenicians, the combinations of whom have very pleasing color, which has nothing inferior to current production and modern murrine.

Some furnaces have become specialized to perform murrina reeds, but the most beautiful murrine, even if it is an entirely subjective opinion, are those made by kilns which then use them for its own production. In this way they are able to perform the particular combinations of the original forms, which give the objects executed a touch of exclusivity and pleasantness unique and unmistakable for each furnace it produces claws.
