Wholesale Murano Glass - Protecting Genuine Murano Value

By: Kevin Grinberg Home | Shopping-and-Products


Murano glass is extremely popular collector's item among glass lovers all over the world. There are people that collect Murano vases, others collect jewelry, and there are some that collect only Murano glass fish. Murano glass delights with its colors, superb craftsmanship, and the sense of history Murano glass offers, coming from more than 700 years of glass making on the island of Murano in Italy. Because of its popularity, wholesale Murano glass is being offered by an increasing number of vendors, particularly online. Unfortunately, the popularity and availability of wholesale Murano glass jewelry is also creating a thriving market of fakes, copies that do not come close to the real Murano glass in quality and artistry. In order to offer to their clients true wholesale Murano glass, vendors are advised to do a bit of a homework.

1.Look for a reputable Murano glass distributor

Reputable wholesale Murano glass jewelry distributors work with a certain number of established Murano glass houses. They have a long-term established relationship that benefits both sides: distributors ensure the supply of high quality genuine Murano glass objects to the wholesale Murano glass vendors all over the world, and the vendors help Murano glass makers to keep the finger on the pulse of the clients, by sharing with them what the most popular styles are, what clients demand most, and what the current trends are.

2.Check for the seal of authenticity

Most of the large Murano glass houses have a seal of authenticity engraved on their objects, even those for the wholesale Murano glass jewelry market. If objects come without such a seal, it is a copy. Small Murano glass houses do not always have the seal of authenticity, so the wholesale vendor has to depend on the reputation of the Murano glass wholesale distributor.

3.If it is too cheap, it is probably not real

As the old saying goes, if something is too good to be true, it probably is not true. The same implies to the Murano glass wholesale. Murano glass is produced under highest possible standards, in ancient Murano glass houses. Each item is produced by hand and is unique piece of art. It is not possible to sell such pieces for bargain prices. Fortunately, well-established Murano glass wholesale distributors are able to keep the prices of wholesale Murano glass affordable thanks to their direct contact with the Murano glass houses.

4.Beware of 'Murano styleâ€

Many contemporary glass artists are using traditional Murano glass making techniques, but the objects they are producing are not Murano glass. They are made by artists themselves, in many countries all over the world, not in Murano. They can have artistic value in themselves, depending on the artist's talent and technical skill.

It is very much up to the wholesale Murano glass vendors to protect the genuine Murano glass integrity, by offering only genuine Murano glass for sale. That way they ensure that the highest quality glass that comes from ancient Murano tradition is recognized and respected. At the same time, they offer their clients only the best that the world has to offer when it comes to glass art †Murano glass.
