Wow. Just about counterfeit proof!
Murrini is new to me, only familiar with Millefiori [1,000 flowers].

Having watch this art being done on Murano, and working in glass is a major part of my departments research including techniques based on Murrini, I know a lot of people will be surprised it has non art applications.
