- Murrina, Mario Dei Rossi's Calla, 13mm diameter
- Dei Rossi's virtuosity with glass canes is revealed in the ruffled petals and the subtle shading of green in the leaves.
- His initials MdR appear in the small black and white cane to the left of the blossom. Only one available
- Mario Dei Rossi was a master glassmaker who worked in some of the most famous glass factories of Venice before turning his attention to his long-time fascination with mosaic glass.
- He eventually adopted the cold composition or bundled-cane method for assembling detailed images with very thin glass canes. Once fused, slices known as murrine, are cut from the canes
- Dei Rossi, the glass "maestro," challenged himself by replicating the work of master painters, ancient Egyptian art, the wonders of nature, in glass.
