Murano Glass craftsmanship has been going on for a thousand years on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. A craft which has its roots in ancient cultures, glass-making flourished in Venice thanks to the exceptional quality of its sand - a key component of blown glass.
Even though technological progress eliminated many ancient industries and completely changed others, Murano glass-making still exists in essentially the same form as centuries ago, with masters using only basic tools and simple furnaces to create real artworks worthy of the most prized collections
In this video you can see how the masters set about creating a Murano Glass Millefiori vase from a simple blob of molten glass gathered at the end of the special rod. This molten glass mass is then dipped into pieces of Millefiori (or Murrina) glass, each being a cross-section of a Millefiori cane. The random selection of Millefiori glass each time the master makes a vase determines the unique pattern of each vase, and shows you why no two Murano Millefiori vases can ever be the same.
