Murano Glass and Our Designers:
Murano is a type of Venetian Glass made on the
islands of Murano off of Venice, Italy. It is elaborate,
stunning, classic and skillfully made. Our products
come straight from Italy and the artists glassmakers
themselves. There are many techniques to making
the effects that Murano glass has. They include
filigree, engraving, ribbed glass, lattimo, millefiori
and layering of colors.
The artists that we sell include master glassmakers
such as Raramea, Davide Fuin, Diego Vio, Ghisetti,
Tiozzo, Venini, Tagliapietra and Afro Celotto. They
are emerging and established artists working today
to create beautiful
murano glass.
Murano is a group of islands located off of Venice.
The island itself is famous for it's unique style of
glassmaking. However, this was not always true.
The islands of Murano were once known for its
trading. In the early thirteenth century the
glassmakers from Venice were forced to leave by
the Venetian Republic. As a result, Murano glass is
exquisite and its style is integrated with Venetian
Glass. Today Murano glass represents timelessness
in its classic beauty for generations.
