Murano glass is glassware made in Venice, typically on the island of Murano. Traditionally made from soda-lime “metal,” this glass features elaborate decorations. Crafted through various hot glass-forming techniques, along with gilding, enamel, or engraving. Murano island was Europe’s major center for luxury glass from the High Middle Ages to the Italian Renaissance, it set the standard for exquisite craftsmanship. Cristallo pulegoso forms when artisans add volatile substances like petrol to molten glass, triggering a dramatic reaction. The glass boils fiercely, trapping countless irregular air bubbles as it fuses. Each unique bubble infuses the glass with movement and vitality, creating a texture that pulses with life. This process captures the fleeting effervescence of a moment.
