The ancient Venetian art of glassblowing is still a very much alive activity on the island of Murano. Master glassmakers work in the heat creating intricate designs using historic kilns. They make a glass with exceptional reflections and colors because the silicas, including the sand in particular, is selected for its very fine, very regular and very pure grain. It is a set of recipes kept secret for several centuries to make unique colors.
