Murano Glass vases, sculptures, figurines, photo frames, wall clocks, and other home decor pieces are truly unique, both in their colorful artistic look and in the way they are created. Handmade on the Venetian island of Murano, Murano Glass is rooted in an ancient tradition that builds upon the mastery and fame achieved by ancient Roman glass masters. Murano Glass home decor pieces are made one at a time entirely by hand using only very basic instruments and special furnaces. This glassmaking method requires passion, talent, and skill, and Murano masters spend years learning from their fathers to attain the level of virtuosity that is necessary to create top-quality vases, sculptures, and other decorative glassware. Owning a piece of Murano Glass is owning a part of Venetian history and beauty.
