Murano glass has been hand-crafted on the Venetian island of Murano for over 8 centuries. Fearing fire and destruction to the city’s mostly wooden buildings, the Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to the island Murano in 1291. Murano’s glassmakers held a monopoly on quality glassmaking for centuries, developing or refining many technologies. Today, the artisans of Murano are still employing these century-old techniques, crafting everything from art glass and figurines to  glass chandeliers.

Description: Hard bound with dust jacket. 232 pages. Text in English, German & Flemish. An important overview of the art glass of Murano 1910-1970, from craft to design. Profusely illustrated. Companion volume to Art Glass from Murano / Glas-Kunst Aus Murano 1910-1970 by the same author.  Marc Heiremans discusses the masterly glass-working techniques of Murano, along with their all but forgotten techniques. A very nice copy with only the most minor wear to edges of dust jacket, otherwise fine. A rare and sought after guide.
