Description
Murano is an island in Venice, Italy. It is famous for Murano glass and the centuries-old glassmaking industry that developed around it. The first workshops were located in Venice itself in the 10th century. However, in 1291 the Doge of the Republic of Venice ordered the foundries to be moved to the nearby island of Murano to prevent possible fires. Murano glass products were and are known around the world. Each Murano glass product is made or finished by hand.
