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.

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!

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

The website with many samples of Murano glass, sorted by company and artist. Just click through to the Archives, select an artist or company and it will give you a short history and some photos.

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.

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)

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

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.
