Murano Glass drinking glasses, tumblers, and shot glasses showcase the mastery of the local Murano artisans. Murano glass-blowing techniques have ancient roots but Venetian masters perfected them and turned glass-blowing into an art form. The artisan crafts each drinking glass from a shapeless blob of heated glass, by using basic instruments and repeatedly heating up and cooling the glass while continuously turning it on the rod to avoid ruining its shape. 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.
