In this model the strength and beauty of Murano glass is immediately realized:

the colors.

Murano is synonymous with hand-crafted colored glass. When used as a lamp, the glow of the bulb illuminates the glass and brings out the beautiful colors and designs. In many cases the design is further projected onto a wall or ceiling giving a beautiful, soft illumination to the room.

The design of Murano glass lamps is varied. Murano glass can be used for table lamp bases, lamp shades, floor lamps, sconces, pendant lights and chandeliers.

Combinations of milky and clear glass, or glass with swirls of metal foil are commonly used for classic style lamps and chandeliers, while millifiore (thousand flowers) and zanfirico (twisted glass ribbons) are used for more contemporary designs. Colors can range from soft pastels to bright and contrasting.

It is helpful to remember that each item is handmade in the authentic Murano way, using secret techniques passed down for centuries. As a result, each piece is a unique work of art and while the Murano artisans may try to make identical pieces, no two are identical. This may be important to you if you need multiple shades for your light fixture - they will vary somewhat.

Clear Murano glass is superbly clear and crystalline without any of the unwanted discoloration, usually green or grey, found in cheaper glass. The process to produce this perfectly clear glass was developed by Murano glass masters in 1450. Although the glass is said to be as clear as crystal, it is important to note that it is Murano glass and NOT crystal. For this reason, a clear Murano glass chandelier becomes an artistic masterpiece with a glamorous sparkle that can never be achieved from a mass-produced chandelier made of cheap glass.

Murano chandeliers are not cheap, but each one is a work of art. A relatively small chandelier costs around 1000-2000 euros from our online shop and around 3000-4000 euros from a fine art dealer in one of the capitals of the world.

With the resurgence of popularity of art deco styles, the popularity of Murano glass table and floor lamps has skyrocketed. A simple 1950 Murano glass table lamp can fetch $3500 from a dealer in New York or London, while a pair of Murano sconces can sell for $4000.

This highlights the investment value of good Murano glass lamps and the demand for them as collectibles.
