How do you tell if a piece is Murano?
1 Answer
To identify Murano glass, look for a label. You may find it on the bottom or the back of a piece. The label will usually specify the name of the glassworks that produced it. Consult trusted online resources to determine if a given artisan or workshop is known for making Murano glass. Authentic Murano glass is universally known for its quality, so look for pieces that feature smooth, even surfaces and bold, vibrant colors. The Vetro Artistico Murano trademark is an official trademark of the Venetian Glassmakers Association and may be of use in determining if your Murano glass is authentic, but buyers should keep in mind that the market is flooded with imitations of this glass. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser to get assistance with identifying specific pieces. Find a range of Murano glassware on 1stDibs.
