Additional Information : Latticino is a term used to describe glass decorated with a pattern of white. or sometimes coloured. threads of glass. Latticino is from the Italian for ‘milk’. The technique is also known as filigrana (thread-grained). It was developed in 16th century Venice and has been used to produce three main effects on glass: vetro a retorti. which has twists embedded in clear glass; vetro a reticello. which has a fine network of crossed threads; and vetro a fili. which has a spiral or helix pattern.
