Murano Style Small Art Glass Vase Tan White Brown Swirl Thick Glass

Murano glass vase, known for its unique, handmade designs and vibrant colors. Murano glass is crafted on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy, using a special mix of silica, soda, lime, and potassium. This glass is melted at high temperatures and then shaped by skilled artisans, often using techniques passed down through generations. Key characteristics of Murano glass include: Handmade quality: Each piece is unique, with slight irregularities that show its handcrafted nature. Vibrant colors: Minerals and compounds are added to the glass to create a wide range of colors and effects. Intricate designs: Techniques like sommerso (layers of contrasting colors) and millefiori (multicolored glass with a "thousand flowers" look) are commonly used.
