SENSATIONAL MURANO ART GLASS VASE
TOP QUALITY
MID CENTURY ART GLASS AT ITS VERY BEST!
The term ‘Murano’ refers to art 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 bowl from Germany for my own private collection many moons ago. With retirement looming on the horizon, it now requires a new home and I hope that it will bring its new owner many years of great pleasure.
