Italy has a long glass making tradition

For hundreds of years glass has been made in Italy. In 1910, totally modern designs appeared and the interest in the glassmaking industry grew enormously. The famous glass industry in Murano is in 1920s closly connected with one name: Carlo Venini! He prefered plain pieces with clean lines and color instead of the traditional delicate glass with filigree and curlicues. In combination with many creative artists input by the 1950s, Murano glass is again famous worldwide.

Our special Tip: Afro Celotto

In our opinion Afro Celotto is one of the best glassmakers in Murano Island. It�s not seldom that the masters reproduce several times their most beautiful pieces. They repeat the same few patterns and designs during their whole life and making alsmost disappear the border between the good craftmen and the real artists. This is not Afro's philosophy. Celotto is really proud of each piece and he explains with passion the ideas and technical features behind each one. He gets excited when he talks about his works: he shows us his last huge glass vase, an incredible bottle with perfect incalmos and murrina, a complex vessel, a strange blown sculpture representing a multicolour fish, than another vase, a filigree drop, a goblet, again vessels...
