Bio:
Murano is a small island near Venice that has been the centre of Italian glassmaking since the 13th century. During the 1960s and 70s, Murano glass gained international recognition for its sculptural forms, sophisticated layering techniques and vibrant colour combinations. Pieces from this period remain highly sought after by collectors of European art glass today.
