The art of glassmaking in Venice can be tracked back to the seventh
century Bc. In the twelfth century the glass production concentrated
on Murano Island. Being the centre for commerce and trade between
west and east, Venetian glass artisans perfected their techniques
because of the opportunities of recomposing different knowledge and
techniques from all over the world. And this is also the reason why the
glass manufacturing in Venice has always been a leading position over
the centuries and making the most beautiful glass work.
today
Even today Venice continues to produce one of the most precious glass
work. The Venetian glass artisans create their unique artworks following
their centuries old tradition and applying secret techniques handed
down in the family from generation to generation: Murrina’s glass, glass
plates, lampwork glass, blown glass, cast with 24 carat gold ... so this is
how they achieve the fame of making the most prestigious glass work
that is admired all over the world today.
craftsmanship
Unlike industrial manufacturing, glass making in Venice is an art form
and purely handmade, only the dexterity and creativity of the artisans
are able to realize and to give that particular value of exclusivity and
prestige that machines would never be able to obtain.
