Murano Glass

Murano glass is hand blown glass, luminously colored and sculpted by artisans who have honed their craft and passed it on for generations. The name Murano comes from the geographical location of the glass foundries, a small island about a mile from Venice. In the 13th century the ruler of Venice ordered all the glass foundries to move to the island of Murano so they would not pose a fire hazard to the city.
