*Murano glass is a type of glass that has been produced on the Venetian island of Murano since the 13th century. Murano glass is known for its high quality, its exquisite beauty, and its unique craftsmanship. The history of Murano glass can be traced back to the 12th century, when the Venetian government ordered all glassmakers to move to Murano. This move was made to protect the city from the fire hazard posed by glassmaking workshops. The Murano glass industry flourished during the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. During this time, Murano glassmakers developed many new techniques and created some of the most beautiful and iconic glass pieces in the world. Murano glass is made using a variety of techniques, including blowing, casting, and fusing. Murano glassmakers also use a variety of different materials, including sand, soda ash, lime, and various minerals. less
