Murano Glass Products
You should always consider Murano glass products when you need a fascinating italian gift. Why?
Almost every person who visits the wonderful city of Venice will take the short journey across the lagoon to the historic glassmaking center of Murano.
It was here that the finest craftsmen were banished – ostensibly to stop the city from catching fire but more likely to prevent the artisans from leaving the Republic of Venice!
And it is on Murano today that the heirs of these illustrious glassmakers are still producing the most magnificent examples of handcrafted work in the world. And, incredibly, they're still using the very same basic techniques to make their marvelous pieces.

Diversity of wonderful objects
A walk around the shops of Murano or a visit to one of the factories – or even the Glass Museum – will show what a diversity of wonderful objects are made by the men and women of Murano today. Here at best-italian-gifts.com, we are delighted to be able to highlight some of the incredible works of art that can be acquired.
imaginations of the Murano artists have no boundaries
There appears to be no limit to what can be made from Murano glass. It is very usual to see paperweights, candlesticks, glasses and goblets, miniatures, picture frames and, of course, carnival masks – but the imaginations of the Murano artists have no boundaries – so the range is limitless.
Murano Glass Vases
 
Elegant, eye-catching, sophisticated – but always functional – Murano glass vases represent a wonderful showcase for flowers in the home or workplace.
Ranging from classical Italian design through to almost psychedelic swirls and modern simplicity, all of the Murano vases are exquisite pieces of art. For the really daring, there are even Murano glass flowers to put in them! Rondo - Hand Decorated Murano Glass Cut Vase - Due Zeta
Murano Glass Sculptures
An original, totally unique Murano glass sculpture can make a simply stunning and eye-catching feature in a home or in the office. With the glass reacting to the light differently throughout the day, you'll find a Murano glass sculpture will be a continual talking point for your guests or clients.
Murano Glass Angels
Famous throughout the world, Murano glass angel figurines are exquisitely detailed, astonishingly delicate marvels. Precisely crafted wings and halos lend a graceful subtlety to these angels – which can be as small as 3 inches in height. They make wonderful gifts – and not only at Christmas.
Murano Glass Birds
Usually created singly or in pairs, Murano glass birds are extremely popular with collectors everywhere. Traditionally handmade by the original craftsmen of Murano as a true test of their glassmaking skills, particular favorites tend to be love birds, swans, doves and parrots but there are many others available.
Murano Glass Liquor Bottles

There could be few more elegant additions to a dressing table than a Murano glass liquor bottle – and there are so many from which to choose. There are curved, slender, elegant bottles or chunky rectangular ones.
There are clear glass bottles with multicolored stoppers and there are bottles in a stunning array of vibrant or subtle colors. Whatever the beverage - not only liquor, it will seem much more alluring when it is in a Murano glass bottle. By the way the same is true for other Murano glass products - special perfume bottles!
