Tradition and Beauty
The history of Murano glass Gothics has its roots in the lives of ancient glass masters: fornase Gothics (“oven glasses” in Venetian) were created and used by masters for drinking during hard work in the kiln. The Gothics were molded with hot vitreous paste, without paying attention to perfection of form. Today these creations with their characteristic irregular shape have become prized objects, much loved and in demand throughout the world. The Gothic “The Colors of Murano” reinterprets the Venetian tradition of Fornase Gothic.
Murano glasses are made from blown glass, a process that requires great skill and precision. Master glassmakers begin by heating a barrel of glass in a kiln to a high temperature, then remove it and begin blowing the glass into the desired shape. During this stage, they can add colors and decorations to the glass, creating unique shades and patterns.
