Vintage Murano Art Glass Goblets, Signed (7-piece Set)

A set of authentic and unique Murano art glasses made in Venice.

Glassmaking in Murano comes from a common thread in Venetian history - the status of the settlement as a bridge between west and east. Glassmaking was an art that had reached a height in the countries of the Middle East - particularly in Syria, Egypt and Palestine - and Venice, looking outwards to the sea as always, was fertile soil for the specialised skills of the trade.
Many sources suggest that Venetian glassmaking was concentrated on the island of Murano in the Venetian lagoon because of the risk of fire from the glass blowing furnaces on the more heavily populated areas of Rivo Alto and Dorsoduro. However, it is also highly likely that the glass production was easier to control and influence when it was in one particular place.
