Murano Glass is world-famous for its unparalleled quality, exquisite range of colours, and not to forget the unsurpassed craftsmanship.
Authentic Murano Glass is handmade, in the isle of Murano, Venice and is not inherently perfect. It is wise to look for slight imperfections, such as small bubbles or slightly irregular shapes, which are inherent traits of hand formed glass. These imperfections are signs that the glass was made by hand, by craftsmen and artisans - and not mass-produced by a machine.
Identifying Murano Glass is part art - part science. Some pieces are signed, and can be identified by artist or signature. Some Murano Glass can be identified by style, shape or technique. Regardless - all Murano has a distinct flair - as it was created by artists, many of whom have only every worked in glass, in small family art glass shops.
