Choosing a Murano Glass Bowl
Colour you look into, not at
A bowl is the shape that shows off sommerso best: one colour submerged inside another, so the walls glow where the light passes through and the base holds a pool of deeper tone. Others carry applied roses, ribbing pulled with tools, or gold leaf sealed under a clear layer. Our techniques page explains what you are looking at in each one.
Fruit, keys or nothing at all
These bowls work as hard as you want them to: fruit on the kitchen table, keys and post by the front door, or empty on a shelf where the light can reach them. Put one on a dark surface with a lamp above and the colour doubles. Hand-wash in lukewarm water, never in a dishwasher, and lift the piece with both hands — see the care guide. Larger pieces for the table are in centrepieces.
Frequently asked questions
Can I serve food in it?
Yes. Glass is inert, holds no flavour and absorbs nothing, which is why it has been used for food for centuries. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry by hand; no dishwasher.
Why is the glass thicker in some places?
Because it was blown by mouth. Slight variations in wall thickness, a base that is not machine-perfect and tiny internal bubbles are evidence of hand work, described in our guide to recognising authentic Murano glass.
Is each bowl unique?
Within its model, yes: colour placement and proportions change from piece to piece, so the one you receive will not be an exact copy of the photograph.
