Talk:Venetian glass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should this page and the Murano glass page be merged? Pnkrockr 19:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

As the content on both pages is nearly identical, I thinking merging them makes sense. Sun da sheng 06:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Something about the Vetro Artistico® Murano mark: only a (small) part of the Murano's glassmakers/companies are memeber of the Consortium and uses the trademark. More: expecially the more "artistic" glassmakers (Salvadore, Tagliapietra, Zilio, Fuin, just to have few names) and some of the most famous brands (as Venini) aren't part of the Consortium. With only some companies and with the main part of the high-end glass producers out the consortium, the Vetro Artistico® Murano mark represents only its own members, not the Murano art. The art of venetian glassmaking is of every skilled venetian glassmakers who works with passions, with or without pseudo-official marks. Marco 78.12.139.67 22:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

They should not necessarily be merged, as they are not necessarily interchangeable.

Murano glass- is made on the island of Murano.

Venetian glass- companies who makes Venetian Glass can be in Murano, but more often in the city or suburbs of Venice. In the past 20 years, there are companies who make glass in the outskirts that use the term Venetian glass, typically mass produced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.27.237.161 (talk) 19:46, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
