Anotations

Scope note:

Distinctive glass produced on the island of Murano, located off Venice, Italy. Murano was well-known for glassmaking by the 10th century. Even though Murano glassmakers have emigrated elsewhere, experts and commercial markets usually hold that authentic Murano glass is fabricated only in Murano. Most Murano glass is made using the lampworking technique.
