Multi-purpose Amber Hand Blown Italian Murano Glass Bowl

This stunning mid-century hand blown Murano glass bowl was created by Italian artisans. Venetian glass blowing dates as far back as the 8th century when Romans used the knowledge of molded glass they gained from the Byzantine Empire and the Orient to illuminate bathhouses. In the 1200s, Venetian glass blowing became the city’s major industry with the formation of the Glassmakers Guild, which set the rules and regulations for the glass craftsmen. Because of this guild, the manufacturing of Venetian glass was moved permanently to Murano in 1291 and became the must have art of nobility due to its exclusivity. Whether used as a decorative object, as a vase for plants, or a bowl, this glass object adds a layer of decadence and sophistication to a space.
