Murano Glass
The history of Murano glass is a tale of artistic ingenuity and innovation, rooted in the small Venetian island of Murano, Italy. Dating back to the late 13th century, the glassmaking industry in Murano evolved as a strategic move to protect the city of Venice from the risk of fires caused by glass furnaces. Murano's glass artisans were required to relocate to the island, where they refined their craft in isolation.
Over the centuries, Murano glassmakers became masters of their trade, pioneering techniques such as crystalline glass, enameling, and millefiori. The Renaissance period witnessed Murano glass achieving unprecedented levels of sophistication, with intricate designs and vibrant colors becoming hallmarks of the art form. Murano's glass industry continued to flourish through the Baroque and Rococo eras, and its reputation for producing exquisite chandeliers, mirrors, and decorative glassware spread across Europe.
Despite economic challenges and competition, Murano glass has endured, remaining a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and artistic excellence. Today, Murano glass continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, honoring a legacy that spans over seven centuries.

- 20th Century Frosted Glass Vase entitled "Cornet Vase" by Marc LaliqueBy Marc LaliqueLocated in London, GBAn attractive clear and frosted glass vase decorated with a tornado effect complete with scalloped edge rim. Exhibiting very fine hand finished detail, signed Lalique France ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 15 cm Condition: Excellent Condition Circa: 1970 Materials: Frosted Glass SKU: 6339 ABOUT Lalique Glass René Lalique (1860-1945) began his career as a jewellery apprentice at the age of 16, and by 1881 he was a freelance designer for many of the best-known Parisian jewellers. In 1885, he opened his own workshop on Place Gaillon in Paris, the former workshop of Jules Destape. In 1887, Lalique opened a business on Rue du Quatre-Septembre, and registered the "RL" mark the following year. In 1890, he opened a shop in the Opera District of Paris. Within a decade, Lalique was amongst the best-known Parisian jewellers. In 1905, Lalique opened a new shop at Place Vendôme which exhibited not only jewellery, but glass works as well. It was close to the shop of renowned perfumer François Coty; in 1907, Lalique began producing ornate perfume bottles for Coty. The production of glass objects began at his country villa in 1902, and continued there until at least 1912. The first Lalique glassworks opened in 1909 in a rented facility in Combs-la-Ville, which Lalique later purchased in 1913. In December 1912, Lalique hosted an exhibition of Lalique Glass—as his glass would come to be known—at the Place Vendôme shop. During the First World War, the glassworks produced mundane items in support of the war effort. In 1919, work began on a new production facility in Wingen-sur-Moder, which opened in 1921. From 1925-1931, Lalique produced 29 models of hood ornaments; a mermaid statuette first produced in 1920 was also later sold as a hood ornament. During the 1920s and 1930s, Lalique was amongst the world's most renowned glassmakers. René Lalique died in 1945. His son Marc Lalique took over the business, operating initially as "M.Lalique" and later as "Cristal Lalique...Category
