The beating of Murano glass

Murano glass working technique

In this process, the glass is beaten on a cold grinding wheel. This produces a series of round, slightly irregular marks that give the glass object the appearance of having been beaten like iron.

Craftsmanship and delicacy

In the execution of this technique, which dates back to the 1930s, the master glassmaker displays all his skills and delicacy. The end result is an opaque and pleasantly textured glass.
