Description from the seller
Murano Murrine Vase – The Art of Venetian Tradition
An authentic expression of Murano glass art, where tradition, mastery and creativity meet to give life to a unique work, entirely handcrafted.
This refined vase is born from one of the oldest and most fascinating techniques of Venetian glassworking: the working of murrine.
The process begins with work of extraordinary precision. The master glassblower’s assistant patiently lays the murrine one by one on an iron plate, creating a carefully studied composition.
The glassmaker then intervenes with the incandescent glass, which is passed over the murrine to collect and incorporate them into the vitreous mass. Through the furnace heat and a skilled manual handling, the glass takes shape, transforming the initial composition into a vase with harmonious and elegant lines.
Each creation is unique and unrepeatable. The small variations in the arrangement of the murrine, in the shapes and in the details are the most authentic testimony of artisanal workmanship handed down through generations of master glassworkers.
More than a simple furnishing accessory, this vase represents a fragment of Murano’s history, a work capable of bringing the charm and value of an ancient Venetian tradition into contemporary environments.
Authentic Murano glass – Entirely handmade.
Artwork accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and originality.
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.
