Murano Glass

Murano Glass is a blown glass which comes from a Venetian island. It is no small wonder that visitors of this city of channels and gondolas have Murano Glass products right at the top of their lists of things to take back home.

Murano Glass is still being blown in much the same manner as glass blowing was done hundreds of years ago. Venetians have been trading and selling their blown glass objets d'art for years.

As far back as the late 1200s, the Murano island has been known to be the world's great producer of glass. The molten material is attached to a glass-blower pipe and is "inflated" into a hollow form, and then shaped with special tools.

Murano Glass is the finest example of decorative glassware available anywhere.
