Murano Glass



Our visit to the Eastwood Mall was spiced up by spending time at the Murano booth.  Murano glass is made in the Venetian islands of Murano, and this involves age-old production methods, and a lot of artisan labor too.  Such beautiful glass creations; lots of colors, plenty of shapes, and intricate curves.  These glass pieces come in several variants--display art/sculpture, bracelets, rings, earrings, paperweights, necklaces, for example.  Vicky and Monique had a field day pouring over the stuff, and I was secretly worried that they would pick up and possibly break some of the table sculpture (these were priced at P15,000 upwards each).
