Murano Glass - The History
It is believed that Murano glass originated from 9th century
Rome. Murano's reputaion as a center for glassmaking was born
when the Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers to move their
foundries to Murano in 1291. Thas was due to the buildings being constructed of mostly wood, and they feared fire and destruction.
Murano glass is still interwoven with Ventian Glass. Murano's
glassmakers held a monopoly on quality glassmaking for centuries, developing and refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enameled glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (aventurine),
multi-colored glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo), and imitation
gemstores made of glass. Today the artisans of Murano are still
using these century-old techniques.
The process of maiking Murano glass is rather complex. Most
Murano glass art is made using the lampworking technique. The
glass is made from silica which becomes liquid at high temperatures.
As the glass passes from a liquid to a solid state, there is an interval
when the glass is soft, and that is when the glass master can shape
the material.
