Along with its feminine and graceful form, it is a work of high artistic value, handmade with the high techniques and quality cultivated by tradition. This pattern uses the unique "lace glass" technique, which is a closely guarded secret among Venetian glass techniques and has been kept under strict control. This mesh-like weaving technique is called "Filigrana Retticello" and is a high-level technique performed by skilled artisans. You can also see air bubbles, which are characteristic of handmade items. Venetian glass has a history and tradition of over 700 years. Medieval Venice Venetian glass is also called "Murano glass," and Murano is also known as "Murano glass" from the main island of Venice. It is said that the workshops were moved from the Venetian mainland to the island of Murano to protect the secrets of its manufacturing process, just like Swarovski. Glass art produced on Murano Island began to have value as a high-class craft in the 15th century, and in the 16th century, it was widely accepted and became popular throughout Europe. It is said that the "Hall of Mirrors" in the Palace of Versailles was created by 12 maestros (craftsmen) from Murano who were brought from Venice. Specially ordered for nobles and wealthy people. In modern times, it spread glass culture throughout Europe, and at one time occupied 90% of the European market. It has been stored at home for many years. Although it is not a dedicated box, I will carefully pack it in a box and ship it. To prevent substitution, returns are not accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
