The making of Venetian glass

The making of Venetian glass

After the discussion of designer and craftsman, in nearly 100 colors of Venetian glass are selected according to the design image, through repeated deliberation and experiments until satisfied. After adjusting the glass combination, the glass is burned in the electric furnace for up to 24 hours to make it durable and not easy to break. Handmade glass has different patterns and colors in the baking stage, and artisans will select nearly perfect glass under strict selection standards, and then enter the subsequent production. The differences in each glass are unique to handmade products, which is also the feature of our handmade glass.
