In Africa, these beads are known as "Chachaso." The term "Millefiori" means "a thousand flowers" in Italian. With the collapse of exclusive trade with the East and the dominance of Bohemian glass in the European market, Venice faced significant economic challenges. In response, Venetian artisans created a variety of decorative glass pieces, with Millefiori glass being one of the most notable. Traders, who had already been engaging in bead trade with Africa, crafted cylindrical glass beads from the Millefiori glass and transported them to Africa as trade beads.
