Each layer is molded to have a certain shape (often star or flower-like) and color.The resulting canes are pulled like taffy, to the size of a pencil. The canes are then bundled and cut into 6-inch sections and heated to fuse.This creates a pleasing geometric distribution of the canes to look like bunches of flowers.The paperweight then has more layers of molten glass applied and shaped into a globe.Murano GlassThe term "Murano Glass" defines glass produced on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. There are many different manufacturers, both past and present, based on Murano.The history of Murano Glass began in 1291, when concerns about the risk of fire to the mainly wooden buildings of Venice lead to the many glass manufacturers there being ordered to move their premises to the small island of Murano, just off the coast of Venice, Italy.Murano was already a busy trade port at the time. Murano glass artists soon became renowned for their skills in glass design, and had a monopoly on glassware production for several centuries.The Murano glass industry boomed during the 1950's/60's, exporting a vast amount of Venetian glassware as well as producing a large quantity of glassware for tourists visiting Venice. Murano glass production is still extremely active today.UNHA 91414Every buyer gets a MyStoreRewards invitation for cash back read more
