Glass "murrine" made by artist Loren Stump. Each color in the piece was carefully layered to create this "loaf" which was then sliced. Each slice sold for $5000.

Amazing.  5K is probably not enough.

    1. my guess would be a diamond saw, and then polished. I've seen it done for thunder eggs, but I'd hope the thinnest blade possible. Agreed, 5k is cheap for such exquisite work.

  3. Looks like x number of thin glass pieces were meticulously painted identical, all the pieces stacked, then rolled in hot molten glass & put into a kiln until the melting temperature fused it all. The clear runoff at the back is the "shell" of molten glass it was rolled in.
    That's how I'd do it.
