Murano Decorative Glass & Other Glass from the Mila Brown
Company
The History of Murano Glass.
Murano’s reputation as a center for
glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing
fire and destruction to the city’s mostly wood buildings,
ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in
1291. Murano glass is still interwoven with Venetian glass.
Murano's glassmakers were soon the
island’s most prominent citizens. By the 14th century, glass
makers were allowed to wear swords, enjoyed immunity from
prosecution by the Venetian state and found their daughters
married into Venice’s most affluent families. Of course
there was a catch: Glassmakers weren't allowed to leave the
Republic. However, many craftsmen took this risk and set up
glass furnaces in surrounding cities and as far afield as
England and the Netherlands.
Murano’s glassmakers held a monopoly on
quality glassmaking for centuries, developing or refining
many technologies including crystalline glass, enameled
glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (aventurine),
multicolored glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo), and
imitation gemstones made of glass. Today, the artisans of
Murano are still employing these century-old techniques,
crafting everything from contemporary art glass and glass
jewelry to murano glass chandeliers and wine stoppers.
