About the Artist

Murano glass has been a famous product of the Venetian island of Murano for centuries. Located off the shore of Venice, Italy, Murano was a commercial port as far back as the 7th century. . . Today Murano remains a destination for tourists and art and jewelry lovers alike. Murano's glassmakers held a monopoly on quality glassmaking for centuries, developing or refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enamelled glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (aventurine), multicolored glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo) and imitation gemstones made of glass. Today Murano is home to the Glass Museum in the Palazzo Giustinian, which holds displays on the history of glassmaking as well as glass samples ranging from Egyptian times through the present day. Murano glass was produced in great quantities in the 1950's and 1960's for export and for tourists." Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia online.
