Glass crafted by hand in the stunning kingdom of Murano is renowned across the globe for its charm and appeal. This charming island, founded in the 5th to 7th century, witnessed its prime growth in 1291 when Venetian glass furnaces were shifted to the island to prevent fires in the central city. Elaborate chandeliers, works of art, mosaic tiles, and beads are still being produced by artistic and industrial fornaci on the island which became Europe's initial supplier of high-quality glass.

A local legend tells the tale of how the lace-making craft began when young village maidens attempted to replicate the ornate design of a mermaid's nuptial veil, woven from the complex patterns of ocean spray.
