During those time Aquileia was the center of glass-making. However, the
Aquileian glass masters were forced to move south along the coast line
of the Adriatic due to the invasion of barbarians. A numerous glass factories
were created during their escape, until they finally arrived to the island
of Murano. Today Murano is the most important center for the production
of artistic glass. Glasses are offered in the wide range of colors, some
claims approx 30,000 differnt colors. The well known Venezian red uses
gold, silver, and zinc to create its distinctive color but its composition
has been kept confidential for many years. |
