Vintage Murano Venetian art glass is a product of the rich glassmaking tradition of the Venetian island of Murano in Italy. Here's a brief history.
Murano Glass History: The art of glassmaking in Murano dates back to the 8th century, but it truly flourished in the 13th century when glassmakers were moved from Venice to Murano to prevent fires in the city and keep their techniques secret. Techniques: Murano glassmakers developed and perfected many techniques, such as crystalline glass, enameled glass (smalto), gold-threaded glass (aventurine), multicolored glass (millefiori), and milk glass (lattimo). Excellent vintage condition with intact (no chips, cracks, or damages).Further details please see all the pictures. Thank you for stopping by and please visit my store other items.
