Known as "chachaso" in Africa, Millefiori means "a thousand flowers" in Italian. After the collapse of exclusive trade with the Orient, Venetian glassmakers, facing competition from Bohemian glass dominating European markets, created colorful decorative glass to revitalize their trade. Millefiori glass is one of the most iconic results of these efforts. Merchants who were already trading beads with Africa crafted cylindrical glass beads from this Millefiori glass, which then became highly valued trade beads in Africa.
