Cane

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006832

A long, thin rod of glass, either monochrome or containing intricate multicolored patterns, used as a component in glassworking.

Sections of these canes, called murrine, are arranged in a mold and fused together to create complex mosaic glass designs.
