- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024Murano glass comes from Murano, an island located in the Venetian Lagoon to the north of Venice, Italy. Many people mistake the name Murano for that of a brand or company, but the term actually applies to glassware produced by a variety of makers. Fratelli Toso, Umberto Bellotto, the Salviati family, Ercole Barovier, Carlo Scarpa, Paolo Venini and Alfredo Barbini are just some of the glassblowers known for producing Murano glass. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of Murano glass.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021There is no real difference between Venetian glass and Murano glass. While both Venetian glass and Murano glass come from Murano Island, Venice is a more popular location than Murano, hence it is called widely as Venetian glass. You can use both search terms to find the best piece for you on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Murano glass is highly-coveted due to the glassblowing processes used to create each piece.

- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify a Murano glass fish, first check the base for a maker's marking. Murano isn't one maker; it's an island located near Venice, Italy. Consequently, there isn't a single maker's mark that indicates a glass fish is Murano. However, you can research any maker's mark on the fish using trusted online resources to determine if the factory that produced it is based in Murano. Older Murano art glass may be completely unmarked, in which case experts generally recommend having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer assist with the identification process. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Murano art glass.
- Is Murano glass always marked?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024No, Murano glass isn't always marked. It's important to note that Murano doesn't refer to a single manufacturer but rather to a host of workshops located on the island of Murano in the Venice lagoon. Many of these makers add stamps, labels and signatures to their work, but not all do. If you're unsure whether a particular piece is Murano, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with identification. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Murano glass.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Whether Murano glass holds its value depends on a variety of factors, including how well it’s cared for as well as demand and supply. Antique Murano art glass can fetch thousands of dollars at auction depending on the brand, the history of the work, the technique used to design the piece and more. The first step in determining if your Murano glass object has held its value is determining its authenticity. To tell if a Murano glass vase is real, look for the name of the shop that produced it on the bottom. Then, use trusted online resources to determine if the workshop is in Murano, Italy. Bear in mind that authentic pieces normally do not have the word "Murano" on their labels. If you need assistance authenticating a particular vase, you may wish to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer. Because it can be difficult to predict how the value of items will change over time, choose decorative objects that appeal to you. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Murano glassware from some of the world’s top sellers.
