Two items of the same model may vary in terms of shape, size, color shade, or pattern. Therefore, most Murano Glass pieces may come out slightly asymmetrical, with bottoms that have somewhat rough pontil marks where the glass piece was taken off the stick, and sometimes there would be bubbles captured inside the glass.

When masters create Murano Glass by hand, they do not use exact measurements or machines to create perfect shapes or perfect polish. An authentic Murano Glass object has an imperfect shape, or other small imperfections, or size and shape variations.In a special demonstration of mastery, the artisan may create glassware that looks like a bright quilt of mosaic-like pieces, the ancient Roman technique known as Millefiori or Murrina. In addition, the masters often use thin sheets of gold or silver that get added to the glass mass and create a layer of gold or silver sparkles inside the glass. Often the colors get layered on top of each other in a special technique called Sommerso. As the glass mass gets heated, the minerals melt and give transparent glass specific colors, such as blue from cobalt or red from gold, green from iron, or pink from manganese. When Murano artisans make glassware, they use various minerals to give color to the glass mass. Authentic Murano Glass has rich colors and often real gold or silver specks inside.Recognize real Murano works easily with the help from Glass Of Venice – the globally recognized expert in authentic Murano Glass.
