Bio:
Murano has been a centre of the Venetian glassmaking tradition for centuries and is renowned for sophisticated techniques in hand-blown art glass. The latticino technique incorporates fine glass threads into the glass mass to create decorative patterns. The fazzoletto form, distinguished by its free-flowing, undulating rim, became a notable form in modern Murano glass during the 20th century.
