| Description |
When the classical world was at its peak, Alexandria was home to master glassmakers. Using a technique called Millefoire, literally “A thousand flowers”; they created dazzling masterpieces that rivaled jewels in their brilliance. This delicate weight was clearly used to balance some rare substance, perhaps gold or precious stones. Every time we look into its glowing depths, our imaginations will see something different: a filed of exotic flowers, a painting by an abstract master, even the wonders of the cosmos itself.
