Murano sites

[IluvItalian]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would like to share their favorite Murano glass sites. I'm been checking the net and thought it may be nice to see what others favorite sites are.

I like muranoglass.com and promovetro.com, (both offer the same content) but for images of as great collection, I like olnickspanu.com.

Boglewood.com was great up until the last 18 months, when the bulk of the content of the site was removed and added to the "Murano Magic" book. Its still a good site though, just not as detailed.

What about you?

I like http://www.rossellajunck.it. Its a gallery in Venice, that always seems to have a great selection of glass from various times, and has some pretty interesting stuff in the archives section.

[fossilfly]

http://www.venicewebgallery.com (http://www.venicewebgallery.com/) is exellent, it has a good amount of important glass from the 50's-present.

[drabkin]

Barovier and Toso's website at Barovier.com has a large glossary of terms.
It's at Murano Glossary (http://www.barovier.com/s_community/voc_main.asp) .

[glassman]

The Gardner & Barr (http://www.gardnerandbarr.com/) website is informative, as it is a a Gallery that specializes in Venetian Glass from the 1850s to the 1950s. It also hosts a large image library, some great articles about the history of Venetian Glass and is co-owned by the author of "Venetian glass, Confections in Glass, 1855-1914". From the text and images it seems that they specialize in Salviati. The gallery is located at 213 East 60th Street. New York, NY 10022. (212) 752-0555. I havent been to the gallery, but would like to check it out some day.

[glassman]

Heres a Venini (http://jetsetmodern.com/greatglass1.htm) article that I have come across, very indepth on the artists, colors and pictures of labels and Venini acid stamps. Great resource. I will post some more when I get a chance.

This is originally from another thread (http://forums.fossilfly.com/showthread.php?p=305#post305), but thought it might be worth mentioning here also.

[fossilfly]

The Losches (Uschi and Rainer), have an exensive collection of Murano (as well as Scandanavian) Glass, and have quite a bit of their collections posted on their website, which also has an extensive list of collectors books, plus a great photo gallery of Murano labels.

Its written by the Losch's, mentioned a few posts ago.

Nice find with the signature page. A great resource!

[spartina]

Ive found that this site: galerie-plaisance (http://www.galerie-plaisance.com/) has a nice selection of photos and descriptions of the high end artists. Great too look at and wish for!

[glassman]

For collectors who don't have any books on Murano glass, or the books dont cover the pieces they are trying to value, one option is to search the major auction sites. The sites search pages at both Sothebys (http://search.sothebys.com) and Christies (http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/search/AdvancedSearch.asp) allow you to view current and past lots with prices, and also offer an image for comparison purposes.

[drabkin]

Heres the website for the Municipality of Venice:

http://english.comune.venezia.it/

It has info on all of Venice, ranging from tourism info to government contacts.

Worth a look.

I found this site:

http://www.norbertomoretti.com/

while surfing. Some gorgeous glass, and is also doing some work for Salviati.

[fossilfly]

This was in another thread........



Check out this list of Glass Marks (http://http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/marka-h.htm), there are a lot of manufacturers listed here, but it also has Venetian artists scattered throughout. A very worthwhile resource for expanding your knowledge of Murano Glass.

The rest of http://www.great-glass.co.uk (http://www.great-glass.co.uk/) is terrific, it also has a photo library of Murano glass by many different furnaces.
Well worth a browse and a bookmark!

[spartina]

This site I found a while ago, it describes how millefiori, how it it created, cane types, and how millefiori paperweights are created. The rest of the site is an worth a look also.

http://www.repronews.com has an online database of copies and fakes, including Murano glass. Its $27 yr., but is worth it if you are a serious collector.

There is an article written about the gallery here (http://www.journalofantiques.com/featureapr01.htm)

I found this is as a bookmark in my research for a trip to Venice.

Murano Glass Museum (http://www.museiciviciveneziani.it/frame.asp?musid=12&sezione=musei)


Its a link to the Murano Glass museum, and it has floorplans, and a layout of the collections on display, and interesting enough they mention research services that are availaable.

[spartina]

Also another History of Murano in Pdf format, found another bookmark! ;)

http://www.venice2.it/veniceglass/Story.pdf

Barovier and Toso's recently published a quick guide on spotting Barovier and Toso fakes on their website. Best of all, if their is a question about the authenticity of an item, they will verify it for free!

Heres the link.

I found a display of Venini glass at Moss Gallery in NYC online--about 20 different vases, chandeliers and bottles.

Heres the link:
http://www.mossonline.com/category-exec/category_id/266

[drabkin]

I found this to be a great webpage on how millefiori paperweights are made and designed. I gives the history of millifiori, how they are made, and also how a paperweight is made with a glass dome.

http://www.museum.state.il.us/exhibits/barker/techniques/tech_millefiori.php

[fossilfly]

This was in another thread. Fulvio's Bianconi's official website, run by his family, has some glass, illustrations, as well as a biography of this influential artist who worked with Venini to create the fazoletto vase.

http://www.fulviobianconi.com

Here is a link to the Gino Cedenese site.

http://www.cenedesegino.it/eng/index.htm

Some great looking works of art and stemware!

[publius71]

This site has been mentioned before, but found some great articles about Murano Glass here:

http://www.italian-glass.net/articles.html

They include ones on Murano Fakes,
the relationship between Paolo Venini and Tyra Lundgren,
and Olnick Spanau.

Good Reading! :)

[TxSilver]

The article on Murano fakes was very good. The world is a treacherous place when it comes to money. I am glad that they mentioned a couple of things -- that Venini pieces are signed and that Dino Martens pieces are often fakes. Anyone knows that in the land of eBay the name Martens should be ignored unless one is sure. I see his Oriente pieces far too often and only a couple of them have looked right. Buying online is tricky, because you can't feel the glass. I've been disappointed a couple of times when I expected rich glass, only to get the brittle thin glass of a poor quality fake.

I imagine that we are ultimately going to reach the point that the heirs of glassmakers are going to have to step in, the way that Tiffany and the Bianconi family is trying to do. If the number of fakes overwhelm the market, the market prices will drop. It would be nice if we were able to have the work authenticated when we receive a piece. I don't know how that could be done without overwhelming the company representatives. We could have things authenticated locally, but if others are like myself, there is no one around with dependable knowledge.

The information about the colors of many fakes, etc., not looking right was very good information. I've also noticed that the clear glass is very clear in many of the more recent pieces. This may even be true within a company. I may be wrong, but I assume that when I look at a crystal clear piece of Murano that it was produced after 1970. Has anyone else noticed this?

Probably one of my favorite Murano artists, Lino Tagliapietra' site.

http://www.linotagliapietra.com

Incredible, vibrant work, truly world class.

I found another site, quite accidentally. A Murano Glass Museum in Japan!

Althought the site is in Japanese, I did find a very short English write up.

HAKONE GLASS FOREST
(HAKONE GARASU NO MORI)
Approximately 100 pieces of Venetian glassware are displayed ranging from the traditional ones which were manufactured in the 15th century through the 18th century, to the modern ones manufactured since the latter half of the 19th century.

[drabkin]

I was recently on the loschs site, and found out they have a new site:

http://www.forum-napoli-warehouse.com/glass.html
with a huge catalog and descriptions of mostly Venini glass. Great for researching and wishlists. The "about us" page is worth reading, its a great read on how they came to own many of the pieces found on the site.

Following a few links on their site, I also came across http://www.jacksons.se/fs_glass.php with 40ish images of mostly Venini glass.

both sites are great for visiting and research!

[glassman]

Here is another site, for the Galleria Marina Barovier. The well made sit has bios of some of the great Murano artists as well as pictures of their works. The site also expands into modern studio glass with works from contemporary glass artists around the world.


http://www.barovier.it/

[TxSilver]

I ran across this site this morning. It has a lot of pieces that I have seen advertised as Fratelli Toso. I'm not sure if Tommasi makes all these things or not. It was a good education. The catalog is multi-paged. There is jewelry, lamps, vases, figurines, and other things.

http://www.tommasi-store.com/catalogue/artistic/index.htm

I found another site with about 25 pieces from the late 1800's to the present. It came up in a random search, its part of a collection at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. Not all of the pictures are in color, which do not do the glass any justice, but it may be helpful for research.



http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/search_tags.php?tag=murano,

[publius71]

I have been on Wikipedia in the past few weeks and visited the entry for Murano out of curiosity, ( a very general description of the island and glass). But on the links at the bottom someone entered the following link:

http://www.artericerca.com/Vetro_Murano/vetro.htm

Its in Italian, but there is a list of artists, mostly from the early to mid 20th century and some scanned images. Its not great, but worth a visit if you are doing some research on a piece. I would like to see the site expanded to cover more, but maybe its a work in progress?

[fossilfly]

Im surprised that no one else has mentioned www.planetglass.net (http://www.planetglass.net)

It a great site on vintage Murano glass with many pieces for sale that you can find in the reference books. Check it out.

[fossilfly]

One of my favorite artists is Lino Tagliapietra, and I have amassed a few bookmarks on pictures of his works at galleries. On of the better ones is at the William Traver gallery.

Heres a link:

http://www.travergallery.com/artists/passione.swf

and also there are some images as well as a bio at the Holstein galleries

http://www.holstengalleries.com/artists/tagliapietra.html

Enjoy!

Heres another site for collectors, the official Livio Seguso site. Thanks to Glassman for finding it and posting it in another thread.

http://www.livioseguso.it/

The site has a nice retrospective of work done as far back as the 50's as well as current works of art.

[AllaVedova]

I'm very pleased to be able to share this the link to an exceptional Murano site - Vetri Di Murano.

http://www.vetrodimurano.org/

What's especially terrific about the site is that, once you get on the home page, you can click on the phrase: Le Fabbriche del Vetro (basically - glass makers) - and a list of more than 50 Murano glass sites will be accessed.

Then you can click on the names of the furnaces/factories/companies that are on the list and access the specific websites. Most of the most important Murano glass factories, importers, and shops are on the list.

It's an invaluable aid for collectors of Murano.

If found an auction site, http://www.newel.com that I have never seen before with a nice collection of Murano glass, some very pricy and others less so. They hae a range of chandeliers and mirrors as well as some vases and sculptures. Good for research but priced high!

[fossilfly]

Hi just stumbled across this and found it very informative, especially for new collectors. Hope you like

Heres the site of a NY based antique store, Venfield who sells vintage Murano chandeliers with eye popping prices. They have some really funky Vistoni pieces. Good for research or dropping a few thousand on a chandelier.

Thanks to Langhaugh for the find. Heres the site: http://venfield.1stdibs.com/search.php?cat=B

I found another site, specific to Murano lighting, with many vintage pieces from the importer,Edward P. Paul Company in the 60's. The site also has a great selection of vintage lamps and historical pictures of the furnace. There are also pictures of labels for authentication and research. Below is an excerpt from the site, Swanklighting.com (http://www.swanklighting.com/blog)



The Edward P. Paul Company originally imported these gorgeous high-end lamps from the finest Venetian glass houses including Barovier & Toso, Barbini, Seguso, and Venini. They were marketed under the BALBOA trade name and were sold exclusively at their New York City store. Later, BALBOA lamps were offered at fine department stores such as Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Marshall Fields

[tedward1555]

I'm so pleased you found my website http://swanklighting.com I'm new to this forum and so far I really enjoy it. I have access to tons of research on venetian/murano glass and especially lighting. So if any forum users have questions, I would be happy to try to find an answer.

A well done site, pefect for researching J.I. co Murano glass was created by a Forum Member, Shandiane78. She has who has amassed a nice collection of over 100 images from of the J.I. Co (Jordan Importing Company), including clowns, tableware and vases. J.I. co is known for importing Murano glass during the 50's and 60's.

Below is a link to a site of a Venetian Antiques dealer, who has 2 pages of vintage Murano Glass as well as paintings and furniture to round out the collection. Worth a visit, pieces by Salviati, Venini, Martinuzzi, Seguso and others.

Thanks to TXSilver for the find.

Heres a site with some high end Murano for sale:

They are an antique dealer in Italy, but their selection of Murano glass is terrific for window shopping or research.

[fossilfly]

Another website with vases and tableware from some of the better known companies, Venini, Barbini, AvEM, Seguso et al. The majority are Mid-Century pieces, and they also have Scandanavian and other European Glass listed. Bookmark for research!


http://www.retro-modern.com/italian_level2.html

[glassman]

I found this site whilst searching for something completely unrelated, well maybe not, it did have to do with Murano glass.

Its the official site of Lucio Bubacco, who have made some wonderfully unique, and terrifically dark sculptures. Very different than the typical vases and sculptures. Im sure they are out of my price range though :)

Marc Heiremans, the author of well regarded Murano Glass books, which I frequently refer to, has a new website at http://www.marc-heiremans.com

[spartina]

Heres a site that I found a few weeks ago and recommended in another thread, and thought others would find it more easily in this thread.


http://www.1stdibs.com

Its an aggregator site, for lack of a better word, you plug in your keywords like "Murano glass" and it pulls from multiple dealer sites. They seem to be a lot of high end antique/design stores, so be prepared for the corresponding prices.
This isn't ebay folks! :) The site is good for window shopping, research and maybe purchasing ? (I thought the prices listed were very high)

[Murano Glass Jewellery]

I really like some of the vases on the Afro Celotto website http://www.afrocelotto.com

[fossilfly]

This website was forwarded to me by a friend, who stumbled across it. Massimo Nordio was been creating works of art since the 1980's.
The site has some of his recent art, which have a contemporary look created wtih traditional techniques. Some pieces also combine both hot and cold into his art, which is seen more today, but less so with the vintage glass. Worth a visit!

Heres another site about Davide Salvadore's furnace I recently found. He worked under Alfredo Barbini and also Loredano Rosin for some time. Check out the site below for some very creative art.

A friend forwarded this site to me, its a alphabetical listing of glass artists worldwide, with a link to their current website. Helpful if you know the artists name, but cant find their website or if they have an online portfolio on someone elses website.

[fossilfly]

Heres another site I found while searching,

http://www.luigidesign.it (http://www.luigidesign.it/)

Much of the lighting and objects are Murano, and the site is good for a visit, despite not listing prices.

Alan made a good site, Charlie. A lot of the paperweight pictures are the ones I've sold over the past few years. I'm glad that Alan started the site so other people could use the pictures to ID their paperweights. antiquerose will probably recognize one or two PWs on the site.

Rats -- I see the site hasn't been updated recently. I sent a few more pictures that aren't on yet, including a couple of Archimede Seguso and a Galliano Ferro.

I have a new FB page. It is open to the public, so you don't have to "like" the page to see things. The photo section has 14 albums of glass pictures done by the different companies. I hope people find the pictures helpful. The link is http://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Marcos-Art-Glass/122210524509576?v=wall. Just click the photos tab to get to the picture albums.

The site is open to FB members who want to post things to the wall. To see things others write, be sure to click the "San Marcos Glass + Others" link at the top of the page.
