About the Stemware

The key date in the history of glass making in Italy is 1291. This is the year when all of the glass makers furnaces were moved out of the city of Venice, and out onto the island of Murano. This was mainly to limit the risk of fire.

The great renaissance of Murano glass began in 1450 with the invention of crystal. Murano glass then rapidly became world famous. The skills of these island artisans fortunately continue today. It is an incredible achievement that many of these venerable families creating glass masterpieces during that period are today still actively producing these beautiful pieces.

We are very fortunate to have discovered this current collection that marries Murano’s glass making to Florence’s detailed gold work. A truly remarkable find! It includes wine glasses, champagne flutes and footed desert bowls that will add elegance to any setting. Each collection offers the following:

• Assorted pastel hues of lavender, rose, aqua, turquoise, gold and blue.
• All detailed in swag patterns of 24-Kt. Florentine Gold.
• All exquisitely encased as a boxed set of six assorted colors.
• Each glass is made with 24% lead crystal.

Unlike other stemware that you may have seen offered these pieces actually have the pigment in the glass itself. Therefore, the color is permanent and will not fade.
