The Inimitable Style Of Murano Glass Figurines
It is well known that glassmaking craft has been around for a very long time and this industry has expanded from window panes in ancient Roman times to chandeliers, jewelry, tableware, and even figurines. Glass figurines have been in fashion for years, but not many people realize that Murano glass figurines represent a perfect mix of artistic value, beautiful design, and quality.
Murano figurines are only made in one place in the world- Murano Island off the coast of Venice, Italy. The glass produced on this island is the most sought after glass in the world, and it boasts a rich heritage and centuries of history. In 1291, all of the glassmakers in Venice were forced out due to the risk of fires from their furnaces in largely wooden Venice. The government decree made them move to Murano Island, and since then for generations they have lived there and produced some of the greatest glass in the world.
Hand-made with passion and skill, using the instruments and techniques that haven’t changed much since antiquity, Murano figurines are beautiful and unique. They range in style from classic to modern and come in variety of sizes, making them perfect to accentuate your interior design and create a highlight in any room of your home or office.
If you would like to own a Murano figurine, there are many things to consider before you purchase one. First of all, if you are not buying your figurine physically in Murano, make sure you are dealing with a reputable seller who carries only authentic Murano glass. For that you need to know whether the seller or the maker of the figurines are members of Consortium Promovetro – the only Venetian Glass industry organization that promotes authenticity of Murano glass against the multitude of counterfeits and fakes available in the world today. Quoting from the Consortium’s website, “it represents over 70 craft and industrial businesses on Murano and in Venice. Since its foundation, Promovetro has worked hard to promote the image of Murano's artistic glass with the declared intent of conserving, safeguarding and defending Murano's thousand year old art of glass, and at the same time to promote, develop and assist in properly marketing this important cultural heritage in the world.”
Secondly, you need to decide on a form, a size and a style that would work best for you. Each Murano glass figurine is hand-made, so there are a many styles, colors, and shapes available. There are animal figures, birds, flowers, clowns, orchestra musicians, gondoliers, and many other forms. All the famous Murano techniques can be used for creating figurines, ranging from Millefiori to Fenicio to Avventurina. Once you determine the best possible option to complement your home décor or to add to your figurine collection, go ahead and search among Murano glass makers and importers for that particular piece- chances are, even if you can’t visit Murano and order it directly from the glassmaker there, someone has it available in their store or on their website.
Last but not least, you need to consider where you are going to put it. A genuine Murano glass figurine is not just a decoration, but a stylish well-designed hand-crafted treasure with rich history. It is a reminder of the beauty and romance of Venice that will create a special atmosphere in your home or office. Putting it on an open shelf or table where it can capture and reflect light will make it a highlight of the room, but keep in mind that it needs to work well with the rest of your décor and color scheme.
