Murano Glass Millefiori Tumbler Making in Venice Italy

For over a thousand years the artisans in Venice have been at the forefront of learning about glass and improving their glass-making methods in order to craft glassware of superb style, quality, and color. Having made many advances in the glass-making craft, the Venetian glass artisans were moved by the government of Venice to Murano Island in 1291, where they lived in relative isolation from the rest of the world and were awarded status symbols and power concessions thanks to the prominent role of their craft in the economy of the Venetian Republic. From inventing transparent glass used in window panes, to coming up with novel light and airy glass chandelier designs, to reviving multiple ancient glassmaking techniques such as Millefiori, and gold- and silver-leaf, Murano Glass masters made significant advances in interior design for centuries. In keeping with this tradition of excellent glassware for the home, Murano Glass masters of today craft multiple tableware and serving pieces, including wine glasses, drinking glasses, tumblers, pitchers, plates and dishes, cups and saucers, cake servers, cake knives, and more. This video shows the process of making a Murano Glass tumbler, which has not changed for centuries. It is filmed in a glass-blowing workshop on Murano island in Venice, Italy, owned by a prominent glass-making family. This family, where the master artisans have been making glassware for generations, is known for their mastery of Millefiori technique, and their excellence in fine craftsmanship. Their Murano Millefiori glassware created according to the traditional methods and techniques graces the homes of the rich and famous around the world and is displayed in many international art galleries and museums.
