I came across these mille "slices" recently - they are the size of fat mille cylinders (16 mm) from the Venetian tradition, but I've never seen this cane pattern before. There are chips on the flat ends and around some of the holes, and there are gaps between some of the murrine where the fusing was incomplete.

Does anyone recognize them?

The murrine look similar to some Moretti examples with jumbled core (no text) --- rosetta ( 2014-12-09 21:26 )

        Bingo! Looks like the exact same cane in a glossy vs. matte bead --- Rosanna ( 2014-12-10 17:00 )
        Here is a strand of same type that I feel lucky to have. --- beadbox ( 2014-12-10 17:34 ) file img
