ICE BLUE TOP QUALITY MURANO ART GLASS VASE : A SUPERB JEWEL!

RETRO ART GLASS FROM THE 1960s AT ITS VERY BEST!

The term Murano defines glass produced on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy.

The history of Murano Glass began in 1291, when concerns about the risk of fire to the mainly wooden buildings of Venice led to the many glass manufacturers there being ordered to move their premises to the small island of Murano. Murano was already a busy trade port at the time and its glass artists soon became renowned for their skill in glass design - and had a monopoly on glassware production for several centuries.

The  Murano glass industry boomed during the 1950s and 60s, exporting a vast amount of glassware all over the world.
