Serve your table with these one-of-a-kind Murano drinking glasses born in the ancient Murano Glass furnaces to feel like you are dining in a classy canal-side Venetian restaurant. Festive beauty of colorful millefiori mosaics set against rich blue background of this unevenly shaped glass creates a stylish, artistic, and elegant look. These glasses are great for water or soft drinks, highball cocktails, mixed drinks, and offer a perfect way to add famous Murano artistry and Venetian sophistication to your dining table.
This gorgeous Venetian drinking glass, or a set of them, also makes a uniquely appropriate luxurious gift of Murano Glass Art to the special people in your life. This authentic Murano Glass Drinking Glass was painstakingly created by hand using only traditional glass-making methods by a third-generation Murano maestro, whose work is displayed at exhibitions and in museums worldwide.
The glass is approximately 4 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter in its widest part. This Murano drinking glass is signed by the master. Attached sticker further proves its Murano origin, as does the certificate of authenticity that comes with the glass.
Because this item is a unique work of art made by hand, slight variations of colors, patterns, and shapes are possible.

Beautiful craftsmanship. Special, elegant water glass. Packing insert says the glass is not dishwasher safe. Why not? Disappointing!

My order was filled and shipped in a very timely manner. All the glasses are beautiful. I had purchased these same colors in Murano last November. Yours are slightly larger, but otherwise almost the same.
I have recommended your site to a friend.

Workmanship
Murano Glass drinking glasses, tumblers, and shot glasses made in Millefiori technique showcase the mastery of the local Murano artisans. Millefiori glass technique has ancient roots but Venetian masters perfected it and turned it into an art form. The artisan crafts each drinking glass from a shapeless blob of heated glass that is dipped into Millefiori glass pieces of various colors and designs, heated up in the furnace, then blown and shaped by the artisan using basic tools. In a multistep blowing, shaping, and re-heating process the glass takes on the color and design the master intended and the elegant Murano Glass tumbler or shot glass comes out of the shapeless glass as if by magic.
