THE GOLDEN AGE OF ITALIAN GLASS
Venetian Glass has been produced for over 1000 years, but it is the mid-twentieth century art glass produced in Murano that marks a golden era in Italian glassmaking. From 1930 through the '70s, the glass artists of Murano were heavily influenced by the Modern Art Movement. The modernist aesthetic combined with the technical expertise in glassmaking that the Murano glass artisans mastered over the centuries, produced a stunning array of modernist glass forms in new and vibrant colors with innovative surface treatments and metallic inclusions.
