Murano Glass Arts Unveils New Sculpture Collection—A Modern Tribute to Venetian Craft Venice, Italy —Murano Glass Arts—a family-run atelier based on the historic island of Murano—has just launched its newest collection of handcrafted glass sculptures. These gently wild, deeply original pieces are part of a living tradition, yet they’re bold and modern enough to feel fresh in any contemporary home. For those who appreciate handcrafted charm, this line delivers. Each sculpture emerges from a dance between ancient technique and artistic intuition. From polished organic forms that seem to flow like liquid, to crisp architectural shapes rich with unexpected color, the variety is striking—and every single piece whispers, “I was made by hand.” Artisans Bringing Stories Back to Life At the heart of this collection are the Murano master glassmakers. Many come from families that have guided molten glass across generations. They know how to coax fragile beauty from heat—layering color, stretching the form, and coaxing line and texture until it’s just right in their hands.
One signature technique used is sommerso, where layers of transparent glass surround a core of color. It gives each piece depth and mystery—almost like it’s lit from within. Others showcase filigrana, using fine glass threads to draw patterns that look almost woven. And murrine work, those tiny patterned discs, are arranged to create bold flowers, moons, or abstract mosaic worlds—tiny worlds trapped in glass. Where Old Meets New What really sets this collection apart is how it balances respect for tradition with a lively, modern edge. The shapes are intentionally bold—perfect for a mantle or entryway—but not loud. Some pieces are slim and sculptural, their polished surfaces catching light at surprising angles. Others are voluminous, colored in smoky grays, deep emeralds, or soft pastels. You could hang a delicate Murano bloom in a minimalist room and let it feel like a little surprise. Or you could choose a grand piece in intense color, meant to be the center of its own story. Either way, these sculptures offer a chance to bring Venetian glass magic into everyday life. Built to Be Cherished for Years
One thing buyers love about real Murano work is its staying power. These pieces aren’t trends. They’re not going to date, fade, or lose their touch. Because they’re made with traditional methods—hand- shaped, hand-washed, and annealed in wood-fired furnaces—they come out rich, layered, and strong. Better yet, each sculpture carries a certificate of origin. That certificate notes which master made it, how it was made, and when. Whether you hang it above your fireplace or gift it for a milestone, it’s not just décor—it’s a piece of heritage, a story passed on. Available Now in Venice and Online The new collection is on display now at the Murano Glass Arts gallery in Venice. Visitors can see, touch, and experience these forms up close. For those not traveling there, the gallery is rolling out an online preview soon, allowing art lovers everywhere to pick a piece, big or small, that speaks to them. Collectors, interior designers, and lovers of craft all seem drawn to one piece or another—they might whisper about the way a particular shade pools at the center, or how a form catches breezes just right. That subtle intrigue is exactly what the atelier hoped for.
