Murano glass is a world-renowned form of art glass originating from the island of Murano near Venice, Italy. Production began in the 13th century when glassmakers were moved from Venice to Murano to reduce fire risks and protect trade secrets. Murano artisans are celebrated for their high level of craftsmanship and their mastery of techniques such as millefiori, glass weaving, crystal, and colored glass. Each piece is handmade and often a unique work of art. Today, Murano glass is considered one of the finest traditions in European glassmaking.
