Located north of Venice, in the lagoon, the island of Murano has been famous since the Middle Ages for its art of blown glass.
The activity, essentially geared towards utilitarian production, took a turn in the 15th century thanks to the invention of "crystallo", also known as crystalline glass, attributed to Angelo Barovier.
This transparent glass, purified of all slag and very fine, is sought after throughout Europe. Murano then took a prominent place in the field of glassware, and produced refined and luxurious objects intended for the princely courts.
This has the direct consequence of emulating European glassworks which attempt to reproduce Italian techniques.
The fall of the Republic of Venice at the end of the 18th century led to the decline in glass activity until its revival, thanks to master glassmakers like Lorenzo Radi, in the second half of the 19th century.
Finally, the activity began a new turn, from the 1920s, with the abandonment of historicist styles in favor of experiments leading to a fruitful development of contemporary glassware.
Murano glass tells the story of an ancient art that gives even more prestige to a city like Venice, which has always fascinated for its architecture and for its particularity as a city immersed in a lagoon.

- Blown Glass Ewer - Murano - Art Nouveau - Period: Early 20th CenturyLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRBeautiful ewer in white Murano glass, blue and red watermarked, mouth-blown. Until the 17th and 18th centuries, ewers were used to serve drinks. Generally made of gold or silver precious metal, finely sculpted and chased, it takes the form of an elegantly shaped vase, generally taller than it is wide, mounted on a foot, with a spout and handle. Its name comes from the word aigue, meaning water in Old French (as does the locality of Aigues-Mortes). The ewer was widely used throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In the 18th century, it was replaced by the crystal carafe and the earthenware water jug. The water jug was originally designed to serve water on tables. It was also used for washing. Period: Early 20th century Dimensions: Height: 33cm - Width: 16cm Filigree glass is the French translation of the old Venetian term "vetro a filigrana"; this name covers a range of transparent blown glass varieties in which stretched glass threads ("canne") in white or various colors are incorporated. "Latticino" or "Latticinio" is an Italian term that has fallen into disuse and also designates "vetro a filigrana".
