Murano glass blown beads each mouth blown, using the filigrana method where canes of transparent colored glass are fused together and then carefully rolled on the blowpipe. A series of beads are then made from the long bubble. Each of our beads is made in a furnace in Murano by master glass blowers. Lightweight and obviously fragile.
Venetian Glass Blown Beads, each handmade in the furnaces of Murano. These Murano beads are made with the canes of the Effetre Moretti glass in the filigrana method. The Murano glass canes are laid out and fused in an annealing oven, then rolled onto the blowing pipe. The master glass blower gently blows and creates the bubble which he cuts off and this forms the bead. No two are ever alike as in this process at the glass is in a semi molten state and it is impossible to touch. The holes of these beads varies due to the nature of the handwork. The process for these Venetian Beads is like that for blowing vases or other Murano Glass objects.
