Since I went to the small island of Murano in Venice, I became obsessed with getting some Murano glass pieces for myself. I got a few things in Murano, but the next day I wanted to get some more, not necessarily in Murano. I looked in every glass store from the train station to my hotel and a lot of shops had fake Chinese imitations along with authentic, In some cases I cannot tell the difference. Now I am not a Murano glass expert, but you can tell on the high end stuff, not the lower end regular pieces, but And so, I would like to be assured I am getting the real thing Just because you are buying in Venice, it doest mean it is Italian made. This shop had sigs all over that everything is authentic Murano glass and if you are looking for cheap Chinese stuff, this is not the store for you. Needless to say, I took their word for it and bought here. Prices were Ok, these stuff can get very expensive, but they had some more affordable, great looking stuff. The store is super small, but then again they all are. I am happy with my purchases, I would recommend this place to anyone. read more
