What is a Murano vase and where can you find them?
Murano vases are glass artworks made on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. These vases are known for their unique beauty, and they have been popular since the 13th century.
How are Murano vases made?
Murano vases are hand-blown and shaped by skilled glass artists. They are known for their colorful and lively designs, which often include vibrant patterns and forms that can be simple or complex.
Many Murano vases are also decorated with gold or silver threads, giving them an extra shimmering and glamorous effect. These vases can be small and understated, or large and impressive, and they are often used as decorative elements in the home or as collector's items.
Discover Murano vases in museums
Murano vases have become a popular collectible among art enthusiasts and collectors because of their beauty and unique design. Many of these vases have also been exhibited in museums around the world, and they are a testament to the talent and technical skill involved in making Murano glass.

From vintage finds to our own collection
At VETRO our love for Murano began with the hunt for special vintage finds — lamps with history, color and the particular character that only mouth-blown glass can have. For several years we curated vintage Murano lamps for our assortment while simultaneously working on developing our own collection.
In close collaboration with Murano maestros we have spent several years refining shapes, colors and details in what today has become our Candy collection. A collection created with respect for tradition, but with VETRO's own eye for color, proportions and modern interiors.
That is why you no longer find vintage lamps at VETRO today. Instead, our world consists of our own handmade glass lamps — designed by us and produced in Italy in close collaboration with our glassblowers. Lamps that carry on the heritage of Murano but are created for contemporary homes.
