DP_SC_DOGFrom the hands of a master glassmaker in Italy to the shelves of your business or home, this striking Murano glass sculpture embodies the artistic traditions of Venice with authenticity and finesse. Whether you are a fan of furry, four-legged companions or an avid collector of elegant figurines, a Murano glass dog is the perfect accent for your living room, bedroom or office and it will look great under both natural and artificial light. You can even set the sculpture securely on a windowsill, book shelf or desk.
In addition, Murano glass animals are unique, handmade pieces that combine the delicate beauty of Venetian glass with the distinct, stylized pattern associated with the Millefiori technique. As a result, there is some variation in size, pattern and color. To offset the luxurious floral design, the facial features and tail are molded in vivid red glass. This results in fluid gold and amber tones that complement the bright colors used throughout the body. If you are looking for a touch of opulence and personality, add this one-of-a-kind sculpture to the mantle of your fireplace. However, it would also make a great present for an anniversary, housewarming party or gift exchange. For those who appreciate fine, handmade art and thoughtfully appointed decorations, a Murano glass dog is the epitome of grace and beauty.

Murano Glass Millefiori, also known as a thousand flowers, is a glass-making technique invented in ancient Egypt, perfected in ancient Rome, then forgotten and reinvented again on Murano island. Dipping a blob of hot malleable glass into pre-cut pieces of Millefiori made from a special millefiori cane, the master creates a design of a thousand flowers on the surface of the glass and then heats the glass again to fully bind the millefiori pieces to the surface. Often 24K gold foil is wrapped around the object and fused into it to create unique sparkly appearance with Millefiori design. The master then sits on the bench and works the hot glass to create the desired shape and design, repeatedly reheating the glass. This is how Murano Glass Millefiori figurines, sculptures, vases, bowls, and many other artistic objects are created by hand in Murano Glass factories.
