Murano glass is highly coveted and easily recognizable. It’s believed that Murano glass was produced from the Ninth century to the present. Murano glass is made using various glass blowing techniques. Once the glass is in the molten phase, it is shaped using a combination of glass blow pipes and hand tools. It’s certainly amazing to realize the complexity of the artwork. Glass art restoration of Murano glass sculptures can and often does incorporate many of these same techniques; so you can once again enjoy your glass art work in its original beauty.

Over the centuries Murano glass makers have been constantly changing their techniques and their artwork. Many of the techniques developed over the years include: enameled glass, crystalline glass, glass with thread of gold (called aventurine) and multicolored class (referred to as millefiori), and many more. When these restoration techniques are incorporated into Murano glass sculptures, you truly have a remarkable piece.

Many of these beautiful pieces become damaged over time – this damage may be undetectable with Murano glass restoration. Often the adhesives used in Murano glass sculptures will separate over time.
