Venetian Goblets & Glasses
The Venetian goblet is the object that made Murano famous. By the sixteenth century, courts from London to Vienna were paying extraordinary sums for glass this thin and this clear, and the Republic guarded the secret so jealously that a glassmaker who left the lagoon could be pursued for it.
Nothing about the method has changed. Each goblet is blown by mouth and assembled in three parts — bowl, stem and foot — joined by hand while all three are still molten. The murrina tumblers go further still: hundreds of hand-cut glass flowers are laid out, fused into a sheet, and only then blown into shape, so the pattern stretches with the curve.
Because every piece is shaped individually rather than pressed, no two are precisely the same height. That small irregularity is the signature of the hand. Every set arrives with a certificate of authenticity and fully insured worldwide shipping.
