"THE PRODUCTION OF MURANO GLASS IS A MILLENARY TRADITION. THERE ARE MANY
TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS THAT EXPERT MASTERS HAVE INTRODUCED, THAT VENICE HAS SOON
UNIVERSALLY CONQUERED THE SUPREMACY OF THIS PRODUCTION, EXPRESSING ITS
INTRINSIC MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS, HALFWAY BETWEEN LIQUID AND SOLID
ELEMENT, AND EXPLORING THE BOUNDARIES OF TECHNICAL AND STYLISTIC POSSIBILITIES,
REACHING PEAKS THAT, DESPITE THE CONTEMPORANEITY OFFERS AVANT-GARDE TOOLS,
TODAY ARE UNMATCHED. I BELIEVE THAT THE REAL SECRET OF THIS ISLAND HAS BEEN THE
GREAT PASSION THAT HAS ACCOMPANIED THE LIVES OF MANY MASTERS, WHO BY DEDICATING
THEIR SOUL TO GLASS, ALSO AS A SOCIAL REDEMPTION, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TRANSFORM A
PRODUCTION OF EVERYDAY OBJECTS, IN THE HIGHEST EXPRESSION OF ITALIAN ARTISTIC
CRAFTSMANSHIP".

NB
EACH OBJECT BEFORE BEING SOLD HAS UNDERGONE A SPECIFIC ANNEALING PROCESS,
WHICH RELAXES THE MOLECULAR TENSIONS DUE TO THE PROCESSING, MAKING THE GLASS
MORE ROBUST AND STABLE.
