Murano is the island just off Venice where
the glassblowers had to relocate (in 1291)
because of the very real risk of fire. They're still
"doing their thing" here (love those
chandeliers) more than 700 years later!
[See how others interpret "M" at ABC
Wednesday, here.]
Beautiful! so colorful. I don't think I'd ever get bored of looking at one of these chandeliers.
ReplyDeleteI’m with Lily H. If I were ever to attend a dinner party where there was a Murano chandelier I would either starve from ever looking upwards and not at my plate, or I would hit-or-miss attack the soup bowl by touch hoping the lion’s share wouldn’t dribble down my nearly horizontal chin.
ReplyDeleteI learned a one-point-lesson second hand from Bill Clinton about glass blowing. Don’t inhale.
Of course you noticed that at Eric’s Bistro de la Muette there is a black crystal Murano chandelier.
ReplyDeleteLove to stop by there some day (like today!).
Ditto to Lily and TG ~ M is for Magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI want want! But doubt I could afford it...gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that is a magnificent chandelier! I saw once a glassblowing show and I was so amazed. I could tell not everybody has this kind of skill. The fire is too hot and you have to have a talent to mix colors and design vases etc. Love it!
