Nature in Glass
Years ago, on our first trip to Venice, on our way to Murano, we stumbled upon a small shop with a window display featuring life like examples of nature in glass. There were fish, insects, birds, crustaceans and much more, all masterly created in glass. I was sadden to find that the store was closed.
After a long day on Murano looking for works of glass, I could not stop thinking about that little workshop in Venice and was determined to return.
The next day, I meet the Glass Master, Vittorio Costantini and his wonderful wife Grazella and purchased the first two pieces of my collection.
And the adventure began....
