Hello World! Welcome Friends! What makes Murano glass so special?
In the life of every person comes a time – or multiple times – in which one has to face the challenge that is home decorating. When this happens, many people choose to rely on interior designers and even architects if a huge renovation is required.
While decorating a domestic environment – as professional designers know and say – it’s important to carefully display furniture and accents which have to mirror the personality of each client, thus truly turning a house into their home. However, even if one succeeds in capturing the essence of a person a room may still feel anonymous without the proper decorative elements which best complete it.
I have found that in the field of home decorating few items are as versatile yet luxurious as Murano glass ones. This is a particular kind of glass which is being produced since the XIII century in the lagoon of the world famous city of Venice, precisely on a small and characteristic island named Murano. Here on this islet, Masters glass makers together with their supporting team have the impressive skills and techniques necessary to turn a mass of molten glass into incredibly beautiful creations with the aid of their strong yet delicate hand and a simple sketch for reference.
Murano glass blown products are items of the finest quality and they are entirely handmade on the homonymous island. The creativity of the artisans gives life to an incredibly wide offer that includes glass statues, glass blown vases, glass mirrors, Murano glasswares and even astonishing bead glass jewels to name only a few of the options available for purchase.
Sticking to decors which are fit for any room of your home, Murano glass lamps are worth of a mention. Such products are made resembling the shape of a flower, a bouquet or even a balloon, making it an original yet elegant piece thanks to the decorative motives applied on the glass. These decorations include colored stripes or the classic “Murrine” fantasy. The “Murrine” is a traditional decor consisting in tiny multicolored glass pearls melted together, it’s something which was born in Murano so it would be impossible to find anywhere else in the world, thus making any item with this kind of decoration a one-of-a-kind creation. Imagine how your living room or even your bedroom could be enlightened by the reflection of light on the colored glass, there would most definitely be magic in the air!
For those looking to create a romantic and cozy environment, Murano glass candle holders are a clever choice. Such products are elegant yet sober items available both in pairs or single pieces, they perfectly suit any table and if you are sharing dinner with your sweet half, there is nothing quite romantic as candle light, right?
Other outstanding glass creations are the sculptures. These are available in many different colors, sizes and shapes. Within this category of products, the ones that best allow the artistry and fantasy of the Masters glassmakers to come out are certainly abstract figures, which thanks to their sinuosity and harmony are able to add an elegant and sophisticated touch to any room.
Useful as they can be as a decorative items, Murano glass creations are capable to enhance the beauty of each space as well as each woman. In fact, you will be surprised to know that even jewelry can be made out of this special material as bead glass necklaces and bracelets are available for purchase too. As for this particular line, the designs which can be found range from modern creations that can be both minimalist or extravagant, to classic murrine glass necklaces or bracelets and even glass blown necklaces made to resemble ice cubes.
All of these creations and even more products can be found at YourMurano.com, which is the only official online store authorized to sell the original Murano glass items made by the 20 most famous furnaces of the island. To make a purchase with YourMurano.com means supporting the work of Masters glassmakers and Venetian local communities too. As a proof of this, every glass creation sold is provided with the Trademark of Origin which is an adhesive label that is mandatory as established by the Italian law. Its aim is to identify and protect the original work of Murano artisans from the threat of counterfeiting, this last being a plague that jeopardizes the very existence of such remarkable products with valueless imitations which in reality have nothing in common with the work of art that the real Murano glass items are.
Therefore, before making your next purchase of high quality Italian products search for the label “Made in Italy” and if by chance the item you are buying is a Murano glass one, be sure you are acquiring an authentic creation identified by the Trademark of Origin!
