AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Murrine Millefiori – Pair of artistic Murano glass glasses
Precious pair of glasses made entirely by hand in Murano according to one of the most iconic and fascinating techniques of Venetian glassmaking: the Millefiori Murrine technique.
The production requires a long, entirely artisanal process. The individual murrine are prepared and selected manually, then laid one by one on a large processing plate according to a composition studied by the master glassmaker. They are then heated until they reach the temperature necessary for the master to gather and fuse them into the incandescent glass, shaping the glass directly by hand.
It is precisely this workmanship that makes each piece unique: the arrangement of the murrine, the colors, the shades and the small variations in the glass can never be reproduced in perfectly identical fashion. The two glasses thus form a coordinated pair, but each retains its own identity and a unique composition.
The numerous floral and multicolored murrine create a rich, luminous, decorative effect, turning these glasses into true glass art objects in Murano glass, precious both to use and to display in a collection.
The presence of slight differences, small irregularities or variations in the shape and distribution of the murrine is characteristic of manual workmanship and represents the authentic value of Murano craftsmanship.
Dimensions of each glass: approximately H 10 × Ø 8.5 cm
Material: Murano artistic glass with Millefiori murrine
Craft: entirely artisanal
Origin: Murano, Venice – Italy
A unique and unrepeatable pair, an authentic expression of the great tradition of Murano master glassmakers.
Seller's Story
I was born and raised on the island of Murano, where glass is not simply a material, but a tradition that is lived every day. Since childhood I breathed in the warmth of the furnaces and watched the master glassmakers transform incandescent matter into shapes, colors and light.
C growing up in Murano means learning early to recognize the value of true artistic glass: weight, transparency, murrine, the small imperfections that make each piece unique. This knowledge, developed in a family and artisanal setting, today allows me to select only authentic works, handmade on the island according to traditional techniques.
Each creation I present – vases, sculptures, decorative objects and lamps – is born from entirely manual work, without industrial molds. Color, shape and texture variations are not defects, but the signature of the artisan who made each single piece.
All works come with a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing their origin and quality.
My objective is to offer not mere objects, but authentic fragments of Murano’s history, destined to endure over time and to bring into my clients’ homes the beauty and value of Venetian craftsmanship.
