*Murano glass is a type of glass that is made on the island of Murano, in the Venetian Lagoon. It is known for its high quality, its beauty, and its unique craftsmanship. Murano glass has been made for centuries, and the island of Murano has been a center of glassmaking since the 13th century. The glassmakers of Murano have developed a number of unique techniques, such as millefiori (a technique that involves fusing together different colored glass rods to create patterns), and aventurina (a type of glass that contains small pieces of copper or silver, which gives it a sparkling effect). Murano glass is used to make a wide variety of products, including vases, bowls, chandeliers, jewelry, and sculptures. Murano glass is also used to make architectural glass, such as the stained glass windows in the Basilica di San Marco in Venice. See less
