Murano Glass- An Ancient Art Form Still Popular Today

Online, March 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - GlassOfVenice is a place for people with a passion for Murano glass and its exotic mix of art, beauty, and history. Venetian glass is exclusive and unique, hand made by artisans working on the island of Murano in the Venice lagoon, just a short boat ride from the romantic city itself. Glass making has been the main activity of Murano for more than 700 years, and over the centuries the local artisans have earned their reputation for making the finest decorative glass wares, ornaments, chandeliers, and glass jewelry. Today, Murano glass wares are as popular and fashionable as they were in the Renaissance period.

"In our bid for perfection we have sought out the best Venetian glass artisans on the island of Murano", said Kevin Grinberg, Founder and CEO of GlassOfVenice. "We work directly with the artisans to bring their products to our valued customers at the lowest cost via our secure Internet store. We only sell 100% authentic Murano glass, from established artisans who have dedicated their lives to continuing the ancient techniques and traditions that have been handed down over the generations."

GlassOfVenice.com offers a wealth of additional information on its dedicated website, including a detailed history of Murano glass, the specifics of how the products are made, high quality photos of Venice, and even a well-written blog about Murano glass and Venice.
