Murano (Italian Murano) - one of the major islands of the Venetian lagoon. He is internationally known for its glass production. In 1291 the city council decided to make a workshop for the production of decorations on the island of Murano to protect the secrets of the masters from the competition and get rid of from fires that could be caused by incandescent mine foreman. Glassmakers were unheard of privilege, but were denied the right to leave. In the XVI century, it was It flourished, the peak of excellence and perfection Murano glass. Glassblowers have unsurpassed heights in its craftsmanship, they blew real masterpieces, works of art.
Murano glass is made from silica sand, in the process of melting with soda, which facilitates the entire process, and potash, which adds luster glass. Also, the glass can be painted or discolor, adding the appropriate mineral supplements. A lot of blowing glass prepared at 1400 ° C. Traditionally, this is an overnight process.
There are many different techniques of Murano style. One of the oldest - "murrina" , which, unfortunately, was forgotten centuries ago and rebuilt only in the XIX century. The basis of this technique is fusion between a one-color pieces of glass at high temperature. Due to this, they constitute a complex, multicolored pattern or ornament. One of the most common Technician - "filigree" . Superfine pattern is applied to the glass surface by engraving. Is also often used gold leaf and technique for obtaining the effect of "natural chalcedony.
"Millefiori" (lit. with IT. "Mille fiori" - "thousand flowers") - a type of mosaic glass, characterized by special decorative drawings. The name is similar to the French "milleflers" (mille fleurs) - XVIII century term for porcelain from China and Meissen, decoration is the set finely painted or stucco colors - but the technique of making glass millefiori has a completely different character. Millefiori technique involves the production of glass rods (also called "sticks murrini") with colorful pictures that are visible only in the context of the rod (figure mainly take the form of flowers, hence the name of equipment). Ornamental cross section of the rod is created in the flame of a small amount of layering colored glass threads per core glass rod and the construction of the ornament on its outer side. Further, the resulting glass rod is heated and when it becomes flexible, stretched in a thin stick (stick, cane). Sam ornament "compressed" scale.
After cooling, this rod is cut into small plates, they again come together and once again drawn to the new sticks, and so on to produce the desired image in the section. When making the rod is completed, it cut into thin wafers, and then they can be incorporated into the design of beads, pendants, etc.
