The history of Venetian glass as an unrivalled leader in the art of glass dates back to the Renaissance in the 15th century with the invention of clear glass. Since then, a long history of innovation followed, with techniques such as ‘aventurine’, ‘filigrana’ and ‘murrine’ still being practiced by Murano glass masters today.
