Murano glass figurines or statues feature glass handmade on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. Traditional patterns including Millefiori are often used. Gold, silver, and copper are also often placed inside or on the glass to create beautiful colors and figurines that almost appear to glow. Our Murano glass figurines come with a gift box and an information card that states the following:
Master glassmakers crafted this piece on an island in the Venetian lagoon named Murano. Glassmaking in the area dates back to the seventh century. The glassmakers have been on the island since 1291, when the Venetian Republic ordered the glassmakers to move their foundries because of the fire threat to Venice’s wooden buildings. Throughout history the uniqueness of Murano glass has been taken very seriously with skills often passed down only to family.
