All Murano art glass is made on the small Italian island group of Murano–in Venice bay. Even those glassblowers who may have learned in Italy, or have ancestors from Murano, don’t make’Murano glass’! The Chinese have for the past 20-years been trying to copy Murano birds, free-forms, fish, sailboats, vases–producing inferior quality items that they mass-produce in China and flood the U. Market, trying to pass them off as genuine. Any item labeled ” Murano Cristalleria Ann Primrose “, ” Murano Minchella Collection “, ” Murano Stile d’Art ” ” VEISES-MURANO ” or ” Murano Glassware ” are easily recognized as one of the more common Chinese knock-off brands. Many fakes are not labeled, or have telltale labels removed! It takes examining and studying hundreds of examples to know for sure, but here is a quick clue.

To your Favorite Sellers. NO PAINTED ART GLASS HERE : None of our Murano or studio glass is painted! It is all colored using a chemical strategy that requires the addition to the’melt’ of a wide variety of elements and compounds to produce the coloration. From the addition of pure gold, for red color, cobalt-oxide or cobalt. For deep blue, to neodymium-oxide for those’alexandrite’ shifting pink-to-blue color effects. Sometimes salts or oxides are sprayed to the surface before reheating in the kiln to create iridescence and other special surface coloration that becomes a permanent part of the glass. The alchemy of hot glass is definitely a process that is part art, part chemistry and part an. Dance of muscle movement to achieve the complex works you see here. None of the techniques are learned quickly or easily, but take years of honing the formulas and skills of the glassblowing process. And, glassblowing is rarely done alone, but nearly always requires the teamwork of. Assistants to successfully produce this wonderful art work!
