Murano Glass
What is the deal with Murano glass I wonder? I found a pretty good sized bowl the other day waiting to die on a mound of garbage bags around the corner from our apartment. I hauled it home and washed it off - so it looks really shiny and pretty - but like all its brothers and sisters across the world I am guessing, it now sits on a shelf perhaps never to be used or noticed again. Murano glass in particular seems to simultaneously exist as an exclusive objet d'art and everyman's favorite tchotchke. I couldn't find much that I liked on the internets, but I know that I have seen some vintage pieces at garage sales and other such places that have struck me as extremely beautiful.

i bought some pretty cute murano glass daschunds when i was in venice recently. my family went on a tour of the factory but i opted to spend the afternoon at the biennale instead (they went with me for a few hours but they were bored...idk). i also ran into hugh scott-douglas in the main pavilion cafeteria buying water. neat day.
btw, i keep seeing your brother around school. best brother/sister combo ever
Hi Arielle! Wow! Cool to go to the Biennale. I hope I can check it out one day. Venice sounds like a fun family vacation.
Funny that you see my tiny brother! Well not so tiny but you know...we actually look a lot alike minus our opposite hair-don'ts. I love that guy. Maybe you guys will make buds!
