Hand blown Murano glass from the 1960's.

Murano Glass is centuries-old history and traditions that have been passed down to the current generation of Master Glassblowers. European Art Glass historians recognize the tiny Venetian island of Murano as the cradle of glassblowing, and can trace work as far back as 982. In Murano, such simple, pure ingredients as sand and fire have taunted and fueled artists' souls, moving them to capture, refine and develop techniques that have been the envy of glassblowers the world over. The work of our Murano Master Glassblowers is as seductive as it is timeless.
