Italy 2001 Murano Glass Factory |
||||||
Our first full stop after arriving at St. Mark's
Square and being dropped off by the water taxis was the Murano Glass factory. During this visit we were given a demonstration
of glass blowing which they made look very easy, but obviously there is much
more to it. It is a family tradition that is passed from father to
son. We learned what was used to make the different colors of glass and
found that red glass is made from adding gold, so if you ever see red Venetian
glass you are looking at the best or most expensive of the lot.
I bought several bracelets, a pair of earrings and a clasp watch. They had beautiful chandeliers and all types of glass figures and bowls.
