Murano glass is famous the world over for its history as well as the expert creations that artisans from the island make. Today, Murano’s master craftsman manufacture lighting fixtures, tableware, art pieces and jewelry that are among some of the most high-end works in existence. Their fragile beauty makes these coveted pieces very popular. Modern, cutting edge works and contemporary pieces are common today, along with the classic styles and designs that have taken their place in glass history. Glassmaking came to Murano from countries of the Middle East when Venice came to power as a historical port for trade from the Orient. It is said that the factories for blowing glass are concentrated on the Island of Murano because it safeguarded the City of Venice from the risk of fires. it is also said that at one time, artisans who left Murano could never return to work there because they held all the secrets to creating the glass pieces. While many glass works still safeguard their processes, some share the basic craft with visitors by giving tours. Here we show you some of the work at one Murano glass factory.
