RETRO ART GLASS AT ITS VERY BEST!

MURANO GLASS

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.

I handpicked and imported this top quality bowl from The Netherlands for my own private collection many moons ago. With retirement now a reality, it now requires a new, loving home and I hope that it will bring its new owner many years of great pleasure.

This magnificent item is an original, rare hand-made Italian Murano art glass bowl (and not Czech art glass or Flyfors, Daum, Kosta Boda, Orrefors, Swarovski, Leerdam, Val St Lambert, Whitefriars or Lalique studio glass). I personally sourced this beauty from Germany for my own, private collection many moons ago. Regrettably, with retirement now a reality, I am now compelled to make space and I sincerely hope that it will bring its new owner much joy! XKOBUI3
