We purchased, the experience in store was wonderful, almost a month ago and we have not yet received any communication about our items being shipped.

Hoping to hear from them about the order being shipped. It was quite pricey but we felt the quality was well worth it. If I was able to get in touch about my order I'd feel much better and this rating would easily be 4 or 5 stars. Just be sure you have a legit way of communicating once you leave the store.

There are hundreds of shops in Venice selling fake, made in China Murano-style glass, but this…read morestore isn't one of them. Walking through the San Marco area, being disappointed at the poor quality glasswork displayed at every other store, we noticed the beautiful glassware displayed at this store. Immediately, we were drawn. The store owner, Alfredo, took his time explaining where he sources all his items and that 90% of Murano glass in Venice is fake, which was astounding. You can immediately tell the intricacies of the glasswares and the beautiful colors that could not be noticed on the fake stuff. But do realize you really do have to pay for quality stuff. There are items priced into the thousands of Euros. But every item can be shipped free to anywhere in the world fully insured. We ended up buying 2 small vases and a small plate for around $350. It is not cheap. This is one of only 6 stores in Venice where they guarantee that every item in store is 100% hand made in Murano and it's labeled with a sticker of authenticity.

The glass is impressive and the designs vary from the practical to the rediculous. Gorgeous stemware and vases to swirly figurines and massive, strange, artwork. It's worth the drop in because it's just off the beaten path by St. Marks square. However, I'm not sure I'd purchase anything here. It seemed extremely overpriced compared to the other "authentic" stores on the streets.

Venezia is full of bright windows for pulling in tourists, but this shop was clearly special. Margherita Rossetto hand makes and paints everything. I wish I could have bought more, but we settled on a number of gifts for friends and family and a few pieces for ourselves. When I return to Venezia, I'll be coming here, because a house decorated with Margherita's works of art would be a happy, inviting place. :Yes, I can see how cheesy my review is, but, seriously, this place was fantastic.:

Apart from glasswares, they also sell postcards, magnets, keyrings and etc. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful though she did not speak English.

They are a tangible and useful souvenir of not only my first of many visits to this grand city, but also of this quaint and charming shop. P.S. I should have purchased a couple of pre-inked stamp pads. I haven't found a suitable on that really shows off the designs here in the U.S.
