MURANO GLASS ART

The famous Murano Glass Art  is created  in the city of  Venice and the adjacent island of Murano.

Murano’s reputation as a centre for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and destruction to the city’s buildings, ordered the destruction of all the foundries within the city in 13th century and  it authorized constructions outside the city, and by the late 13th century, the glassmaking industry was centred on Murano Island. 

Murano glassmaking is an extremely complex process and usually involves several glassmaking techniques. 

Our  Murano Glass collections feature glass art from several Italian glass Masters such as Oscar Zanetti, Luca Vidal, Mario Gambaro, Andrea Tagliapietra and Arnaldo Zanella.
