Description

The Venetian glassmakers on the island of Murano used the ashes of shells and seaweed (instead of wood ash) for their glass batch.The "long" glass, which remained hot longer, no longer set limits to the imagination in the emerging Baroque. This is how the playful forms, such as the "winged glasses à la facon de Venice" made with glass threads, came into being. ,which were soon copied all over Europe, for example, like the original in the Glass Museum 17th century for the present replica.
