The island of Murano has been known for its glassmaking since the 13th century, when the Venetian Republic ordered all of the glassmaking furnaces there to be moved away from Venice’s wooden architecture. Each colorful bird, accented with gold leaf, is handmade using centuries-old techniques by a husband and wife in their small Murano studio. Please allow for variation.
Approximately 2"W x 3 1/2"L x 2"H.
