Since the thirteenth century, glassmakers have observed these shimmering waters outside their workshops, a vision reflected in the art that has made Murano, and its glass masters, world-famous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eGlassblowers came to be located on Murano for two reasons. The first was to minimize fire risk in Venice. The great number of glass-firing ovens—which regularly reached some 1500 degrees Celsius—produced beautiful glass objects but also initiated fires in the city. The fire hazard must have become onerous because by the 1270s, city officials had begun to transfer glass workshops from the center of Venice to Murano, a process completed by 1291. The second reason to relocate glassmakers to Murano was probably political. Trade secrets of Murano glassmaking were already being leaked across Europe during the Middle Ages, and sequestering glassmakers on Murano allowed the Republic to control glass production and exportation, ensuring that these secrets remained in Venice. Glassmakers faced steep fines or even imprisonment if they traveled outside the Republic, though interestingly, glassmakers from Dalmatia, Bohemia, and elsewhere were occasionally authorized to work on Murano. Until the sixteenth century, Murano glassmakers held a monopoly on European glassmaking, and their stunning creations brought them renown across the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Murano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45403927216297,"sku":null,"price":490.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2622\/5321\/files\/murano-sommerso-vase-by-flavio-polimurano-7942758.png?v=1781146271"},{"product_id":"mixed-vintage-42-silver-and-stainless-piece-near-complete-cutlery-set-with-bone-handle","title":"Mixed Vintage 42 Silver and Stainless Steel Cutlery Set with Bone Handle","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA beautifully presented, near complete, vintage oak canteen of nickel silver and stainless steel cutlery made by Sheffield.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eAll pieces have some warranty and stamp on the underside. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMost pieces contain stamps which include DWTS which represents the industry standard amount of silver that would have been used in the set.

Developed by a master glassblower of A.Ve.M. this series was initially called 'Bizantino' but later the naming 'Rest of the day' or 'Tutti Frutti' have prevailed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArte Vetraria Muranese (A.Ve.M.) was founded in 1931 by Antonio Ferro, his sons Egidio and Ottone, Galliano Ferro, and Emilio Nason. In the early years, the company mainly produced mass-market products for large international importers. Designs by Vittorio Zecchin were among the early products. Aldo Nason also worked for A.Ve.M. in the 1930s. Represented at the Venice Biennale and the Milan Triennale from the very beginning, the company constantly adapted its production to contemporary trends and, in keeping with the spirit of the times, produced solid glass figures, pulegoso glasses, and thick-walled glasses. In 1939, Giulio Radi, born in Murano, joined the company as artistic director. Under his leadership, the company explored the reaction of metal oxides to glass and the use of gold and silver powder in combination with very simple shapes. This work was ended by Radi's death in 1952. In addition to Radi's designs, the 'Anse Volanti' series designed by Giorgio Ferro, which was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1952, is one of the manufacturer's outstanding products. In 1955, Galliano Ferro left the company to open his own glassworks. At that time, painters Luigi Scarpa Croce and Anzolo Fuga were working with A.Ve.M. Scarpa Croce designed asymmetrical works with abstract decorations, combining lattimo glass with murrine or multicolored glass pastes. He was supported in this by the experimental creativity of master glassblower Luciano Ferro. Anzolo Fuga designed many well-known series such as Finestre, Transennato, Sfumato, and the A Canne series. The company still exists today, but production ceased many years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"js-product-description product-description\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"js-swap-sibling js-toggle-less\"\u003eAdd this elegant, mid-century Murano art glass vase to your collection—a rare investment in timeless Italian craftsmanship.

Since the thirteenth century, glassmakers have observed these shimmering waters outside their workshops, a vision reflected in the art that has made Murano, and its glass masters, world-famous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eGlassblowers came to be located on Murano for two reasons. The first was to minimize fire risk in Venice. The great number of glass-firing ovens—which regularly reached some 1500 degrees Celsius—produced beautiful glass objects but also initiated fires in the city. The fire hazard must have become onerous because by the 1270s, city officials had begun to transfer glass workshops from the center of Venice to Murano, a process completed by 1291. The second reason to relocate glassmakers to Murano was probably political. Trade secrets of Murano glassmaking were already being leaked across Europe during the Middle Ages, and sequestering glassmakers on Murano allowed the Republic to control glass production and exportation, ensuring that these secrets remained in Venice. Glassmakers faced steep fines or even imprisonment if they traveled outside the Republic, though interestingly, glassmakers from Dalmatia, Bohemia, and elsewhere were occasionally authorized to work on Murano. Until the sixteenth century, Murano glassmakers held a monopoly on European glassmaking, and their stunning creations brought them renown across the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Murano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082260824233,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2622\/5321\/files\/murano-tutti-frutti-glass-bowl-smallmurano-9735829.jpg?v=1780630991"},{"product_id":"mid-century-recliner-and-foot-stool-by-parker","title":"Mid Century Recliner and Foot stool","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an original Mid Century Recliner and Foot Stool.  We are unable to verify the brand but it may be an earlier design from Fler. We believe it has the original upholstery which is in good condition considering it’s age.
