MURANO GLASS:

For centuries the Murano glass makers have been world renowned for their techniques and high quality of glass blowing.

Originally Murano glass blowers and makers immigrated into Canada in the Late 1950’s and Early 1960’s from Murano, Italy. Originally they migrated to the Montreal region of Canada and began to open up a few small glass shops and were importing from Murano and eventually produced their own glass here and began distribution to shops throughout Canada.

This glass was truly a modernistic approach to how glass looked; it was also a turning away from the traditional way that most Italian glass looked. This glass for the first time was a modern way or interpretation of what new art glass should look like that would have mass appeal and make money for the factories. It was a somewhat blending of cultures of glass blowers from different backgrounds and how they interpreted how modern glass should look and feel when met by the human eye.
