A wonderful vase made of the highest quality Murano glass - Gambaro & Tagliapietra

Manufactory Gambaro & Tagliapietra specializes in the production of designer glass objects (arguably the most classic and popular type of product along with chandeliers): small and large superior masterpieces of craftsmanship, starting from classic items – stylish bowls, unconventional vases, plates, original animals, chandeliers, timeless table lamps, beautiful decanters, glasses, sculptures – up to actual collection pieces made in exclusive and limited editions for discerning clients seeking uniqueness.

The history of Murano glass has very deep and ancient roots in Venice. It has moments of glory and success alternated with phases of difficulty and crisis. What is extraordinary and unique is that on this small lagoon island in Venice, for over eight centuries, the art of glassmaking has reached a level of elegance, technique, and skill that is incomparable with any other glassmaking reality in the world: ‘’there is glass and Murano glass’’! Ancient techniques are combined with a modern approach to the entire laborious production process, because only such a blend creates a luxurious whole. Gold leaf, intense pastel colors, somewhat childish and abstract designs, the use of silver on a black glass base – these are exceptionally vivid distinctive signs of the brand.

Gambaro & Tagliapietra srl is part of the Promovetro Consortium, which brings together leading artisanal companies in traditional processing, whose goods are entirely handmade, in accordance with high standards of Murano glass craftsmanship.

Gambaro & Tagliapietra Srl, licensee of the Vetro Artistico® Murano brand with code 022, is pleased to announce the implementation of the "new traceability brand".
What is the Murano Glass artistic logo? It is a collective mark established by the Veneto region under law no. 70 of December 23, 1994, and managed by the Promovetro Murano Consortium, which certifies that products are made on the island of Murano.

Why a brand? To protect one of the symbols of Made in Italy worldwide, and at the same time to guarantee the consumer the authenticity of the product, which is the result of a millennia-old artistic tradition born and developed on the island of Murano.

What does it guarantee me? Confidence that I purchased a product made in Murano according to criteria consistent with traditional Murano craftsmanship techniques.
Who can benefit from it? Only companies producing artistic glass on Murano can apply to the Veneto region: if authorized, they become licensees of the Glass Art Murano® trademark.

How does it work? Licensees place a self-adhesive label with security features on their products, which include various safety and traceability elements that unequivocally confirm their origin.
How is the seal created? The sticker reproduces the Vetro Artistico® Murano brand logo and can be red or blue depending on the type of processing. At the top, there is an identification code of the manufacturer. Since 2016, the label also bears a serial number and a data matrix code that uniquely identify the product, serving as its "identity card".

How can I verify the authenticity of a product using the sticker? By reading the data matrix code with any dedicated app or via the free Original Murano Glass app, or alternatively through the dedicated website www.muranoglass.com/original-murano-glass.
