2. The great tradition of glass was first born inVenice and then moved to Murano,
where it became a product of excellence to adorn the splendid palaces on the
Grand Canal and the halls of royalty all over Europe.
Vases, Centerpieces and goblets have made Murano glass a privileged spectator of
European and world history. Jewellery and necklaces that brightened the look of
princesses from times gone by, still today adorn and enhance beautiful young
women and elegant ladies.
Owning a Murano glass piece, whatever its shape or size, means appreciating true
beauty, but also holding a valuable object that is an investment for the future. In fact,
countless creations that were originally born for everyday use are now on display in
the biggest and most important museums worldwide, highly esteemed as art
masterpieces.
Murano glass is a gift unique and exclusive: no two objects could ever be identical.
The handcrafted manufacturing processes necessarily bring about a uniqueness that
ensures the impossibility of making a perfect copy. This is the ancient wisdom and
knowledge that we have chosen to divulge and protect.
MURANO GLASS
The best glass in the world
4. Glass-blowing may be defined as the "classic" technique for creation of hollow
objects. Glass can be mouth-blown or mould-blown.
In the first instance the master, aided by his assistants, shapes the object by blowing
through a long hollow metal tube, the so-called "blow-pipe".
The glass is picked up from the center of the oven, blown and shaped by use of a
"borsella", a pair of flexible tongs that can accomplish different tasks depending on
their shape. Indeed, the borsella can be used to pinch the object, narrow it, remove
imperfections, open it up or give it a precise shape.
During this work, the pipe is countinuously spun to avoid warping the glass, as it is
still soft at this stage and can be warped by gravity.
HAND-CRAFTED
By an ancient technique
6. This is the Mark of Origin established by Italian law that certifies with certainty that
every item is created on the island of Murano by master glassmakers.
The trademark assures the customer and defends one of the most famous symbols
of Made in Italy born from a thousand-year-old tradition.
The "Vetro Artistico® Murano"Trademark appears as an adhesive label that carries
the producer's number code and the writingVetro Artistico® Murano in gold leaf.
The adhesive label of origin is applied on each product. If the client decides to
remove it, the label is easily lifted with no trace or residue. Its removal will, however,
cause the rupture of the label to avoid any subsequent illicit use on products that
are not original.
