You would think Murano glass wares would be a little cheaper in Murano, but they are not. Even so, I was able to find some very cute wine bottle tops with a stamp of authenticity at a very affordable price. The clerk was also proficient in English which is always a plus. Cute shop!

Absolutely breathtaking blown glass!…read more I would like one of everything please, maybe three chandeliers to round out the overall look. Haha - just kidding, no place to put anything like that right now. The quality and the craftsmanship of every piece is phenomenal and worth every penny, or every Euro in this case. If I lived in the area I would have an entire home filled with pieces from Venini and be living on bread and cheese (my dream diet). I like this plan; if I start saving now I may be able to have this chandelier by retirement. Venini is glass blowing perfection; I recommend a visit and a purchase if you have the funds. Any piece would be a conversation starter for all and the focal point of any room.

It's stamped as well. She took the time to explain what is real Murano glass and how to tell the difference. I'm hoping to purchase more online if she has that option.

Do not go to this place!! I was about to buy a bracelet and I asked the lady who worked at the…read morestore how much a hat was and she told me the price. I told her I was interested in buying the hat and not once did she tell me she needed to take it down for me to buy it. I tried to take the hat down and for some reason a glass necklace and sunglasses were hanging on the hat so they both fell. A piece of the necklace broke and the lady yelled at me and demanded I bought the $30 necklace. Monica was awful! She not only was extremely rude to me but rude to other customers who were interested in buying things!! There are plenty of other stores to go to so do not go to this one.

If you are ever in…read moreVenice, have a look at the tourist shops but withhold buying anything until you make the short trip out to Murano Island. You can reach the island by the ferry, private water taxi or do as we did and take a no obligation water taxi excursion co-sponsored by the Splendid Venice Starhotel. After getting wowed by a master glass blower demonstrating his craftsmanship in the furnace our host Marci escorted us into their showroom where they had the most amazing display of museum quality glass art. I personally had not thought about buying any souvenirs of our trip to Italy and I've been to enough silk, pottery, jade, carpet and jewelry factories enough to know what to expect. Lo and behold, there were no high pressure sales tactics and I was encouraged to meander thru room after room of stunning glass sculptures, chandeliers and vases. As I rounded one corner very cognizant not to tip anything over like the proverbial "bull in a china shop" I couldn't believe seeing a glass sculpture of a Green Dragon. Our newest granddaughter was born in the Year of the Dragon so I had to inquire about it. Roberto explained that the Master got some of his ideas from a trip to the Far East. The dragon had amazing features down to the barbed tail and body scales. I confided that I would need an Ox or Bull to commemorate my first granddaughter who was born in the Year of the Ox. Roberto and Marco brought out a very impressive Golden Bull that would be a perfect complement to the Green Dragon. Roberto said he could commission customization but if I was interested in what was already in inventory he would work with me to get a better price. Not in any of my travels have I ever seen anything remotely as striking as these animal sculptures. They gave me a great reduced package price and threw in a gorgeous flowery candle holder for my wife's 70th birthday. The three items were shipped out via New Venice Shipping in coordination with FedExItaly and FedEx here in the US. The packages were shipped from the showroom on 9/19/24 and all arrived by 10/10/24 in spite of Hurricane Helene which wrecked havoc on the Memphis, Tennessee FedEx Regiional Center where our shipment first landed. After not getting any updates on the FedEx website, we feared the packages were lost in the storm and I reached out to Estevan Rossetto who promptly replied and initiated a package search. With the kind help of Lamia from Estevan Rossetto and Matteo from New Venice Shipping, I was assured the packages had cleared customs and still scheduled to be delivered. Sure enough, the packages arrived on subsequent days and the packaging was beyond impressive. Each item was separately wrapped, engulfed in a mountain of packing peanuts and boxed within an even sturdier shipping box. One could tell each piece was treated with love and respect. In addition to arriving in pristine condition, Roberto and Marco included Certificates of Authenticity and hand written education notes addressed to each granddaughter signed by the Master who created the sculptures. Believe me, these pieces will tell a story for generations after we're gone, they're that special. Personally the excursion out to Estevan Rossetto was the highlight of my Venezia visit and we couldn't be happier with our purchases. Yes this is a working glass factory and viable business but it's also a cooperative where several Masters only offer their art for sale. We found the sales staff to be genuine, caring, welcoming and low pressure. We were treated like guests in their family business and I would not hesitate to return there again someday. Don't let the handful of negative reviews dissuade you from visiting, there's probably thousands and thousands of ecstatic old and new owners of fine glass art pieces from Estevan Rossetto.

Let the glass art begin!!…read more Got a private tour of this factory as a special from our hotel. Water taxi ride took about 35-45 minutes to get here! The little boats are rockkkkkyyyyyyyy! But I don't think you can use the ferries to come here either! It was cool! They can create, hand-blownn anything, any design you want and pack and ship it to you! Has to be 990 euros or more for free shipping. And there's a 40% sale tax on top! Pretty steep for purchases!! But then again, hand blown art from Murano isn't cheap!! Most glass items ( bears, clows) started around 20,000 euros! Don't forget the 40% sale tax!! My guide was one of the owners: got to see a few things made! And all the secret design items! No photos for this!! And eventhough, my hotel was supposed to pick me up, they somehow managed to give a ride back for free in the water taxi. Those things cost $150 per ride! No complaints there since they really were eager to drop you off! Not sure why though. Hmmm! Overall, it was cool to see and marvel at things! I mean! Don't you want a 500,000 chandelier?! Murano! Certified! Authentic! :P Seems Elton John did!! So is Dale Chihuly! Cool spot! One day, I'll buy the big prize items! Till then, I got myself a brand new horse! Wooo! Murano!!!
