Murano glass is the longest lasting center for glass making in history, ranging from the 9th century to today. It is known for its beautiful and innovative art and glassware. Because Murano does such a long history, one can easily see the reflection of important events, including the Renaissance and Napoleon's conquest of Europe, and how they affected a small island of glassmakers in the Adriatic Sea.
Murano is located on a small island northwest of the city of Venice, Italy – not much larger than a few square miles.
It is believed that the origins of Murano Glass dates back to the 9th century Rome, with significant Asian and Muslim influences, as Venice was an important trading port. Multihued perle (beads) were used in trading with Asian, African and Muslim neighbors. The first known historical document describes Domenico, a glass blowing master, who made bottles. Other equally rare documents describe Pietro Fiolario working with glass in 1083 and Giovanni Fiolario as a master glass blower making bottles in 1158.
During the1930s, Ermanno Toso changed the direction of Murano Glass, one of making a traditional Muranese objects to one of the more modern tastes. War threatened the glass masters in the 40s, but the industry managed to survive World War II and came after the war with pent-up artistic energy, making the year 1950 some of the most creative and innovative years the island of Murano have ever seen. Filigrana The technique was expanded and used to new effect by another Murano master, Archimede Seguso, who opened his own shop, Archimede Seguso Vetreria in 1946. Today, collectors consider the works during this time is most desirable.
Artists like Dino Martens, who brought the traditional Venetian techniques to America, Flavio Poli and Fulvio Bianconi all began making unique, non-traditional work to get creative expression.
Since the year 1950 the maestros in Venice have collaborated with artists around the world, including Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore and Jean Cocteau in addition to those as a mentor to artists who started the American Studio Glass Movement.
A recent challenge for the Venetian glass blowers in the market is counterfeit. Early in the year 1990 and beyond today, many of the classic vases, glassware and Millefiore objects are copied in Asia, for sale abroad.
In September 2002, in response to this growing problem, Promovetro, the glassmaker's consortium registered a Murano trademark with the European Union. The brand, a lilac colored sticker with a glassmaker's The Cana soffio (blowpipe) and the Italian word "artistic Murano glass" is printed on a difficult film to reproduce or false.
In another recent development, on February 14, 2003, the city of Venice unveiled the new brand name for the town created by French designer Mathieu Thibautto as above. The future of the Murano is as bright as ever. Continuous innovation combined with a renewed emphasis on collaboration with artists around the world, the island easy to operate, which flourished maestros and bringing the 21st century as a "Golden Age" of Murano glass!

How old Czech glass beads earrings 2?
There is no hole in one of them. I thought I could glue them on a kind of earring back? Thank you!
You can buy post earring findings at a craft supply store. I would recommend one of Goop brand glue. There are several that work well for keeping these things. Epoxy would also do well. Flat-front message, your findings slightly smaller than the beads. Measured in metric before you go, like jewelry findings and beads are sold in metric sizes.
