Bf Signoretti murano glass factory
   
a bit of history about Murano glass production...
"In the year 1291, in face of a growing threat of fires the Venetian Serenissima Republic decreed that all glass factories had to be transferred from Venice to the nearby island of Murano.

"Our designer Gabriella Toso, descending from one of the most ancient Muranesi families dating from 1500, is still executing some wonderful and particular chandeliers in Rezzonico style in any color and size and some artistical blown pieces upon her family's original drawings for Signoretti"

Thus began the legendary Murano glass-blowing industry, and ever since the glass-blowing art has been synonymous with the name Murano. The long and fascinating history of Murano art envolved from the murrines filigree, reticelli and blow-glass art developed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, to the exuberant Baroque, the brief flourishing of Neo-classicism and nineteenth-century revivals"".

The most important works from each period are still being reproduced today, but the traditional creative spirit seeks new forms which to express contemporary motifs through. On display at Signoretti are hand-made chandeliers, created with centuriesold basic tool, remarkably light drinking glasses, etched and ornamented mirrors, vases in various shapes and colours, modern sculptures and numerous other objects, creations of the imagination and creativity of the glass art master.
