Key workers?Individual artists?Lists or archives?

[roseslater]

Hello to all. What an interesting site/forum. A pleasure and a passion all at once.
Being new I have searched the forum but no reference was found to my topic.I therefore hope my question will not be irritatingly ignorant.
Understanding the 'furnace system" I am asking if key workers or artists are recorded with individual biographies or lists of works for the parent house of Murano.
Does anyone know the name "Raffaele"? Who was, apparently, once a last pupil of Dali. Or at least had the experience of working with/under Dali. He then produced pieces with Murano at the workshop/studios there.

Also, for anyone who has not visited Murano I can only say they should save just a little money for the fare and go there. It will inspire you forever. It will also indicate if you have 'good instincts'. You will never look in a High Street gift or souvenir shop again.
Thanks to anyone who can help my enquiry.

Roseslater,

Welcome to the Forums!

Murano is known for is collaboration with artists worldwide, however the name "Raffaele" doesn't look familiar, and I couldn't find it mentioned in any of my books. However, one book that I do not own at the moment, Murano Magic by Carl T. Gable, does list many of the the artists, family trees and their relationships to the different furnaces. Much of the information used to be listed on boglewood.com , but since the book was published, it no longer is on the site. You might want to refer to the book, it might lead you in the right direction.
