MURANO Glass Sculpture / Statue of Pink Lady about 22 1988. Handmade in Venice Italy, since 1291. By the eighth century, Venice was a leading location for glass manufacturing, and by the late 1200s, glassmaking was Venice's primary industry. To outline regulations for the industry, a Glassmakers Guild was established. However, the Guild's motives were questionable, as it also called for a law to be passed that would mandate all glassmakers to move from Venice to the island of Murano. Because glass factories frequently caught fire and the buildings in overpopulated Venice were mostly wooden, there was fear that glassmakers' furnaces would ignite the city. Venetian glassmaking originated some 1,500 years ago, when glassmakers from Aquileia, Italy, made the voyage to the Venetian lagoon to escape attacks by barbarians during the Roman Empire. Glassmakers who relocated from Byzantium and the Middle East further enriched the talent pool in the city. There, molded glass was affixed to the ceiling of lavishly decorated public bathhouses, providing illumination and delight. Additional uses for glass would soon emerge in the form of beads.

While these products were widely exported, they were available only to the wealthy, as glass was then considered an extremely extravagant and valuable commodity. This is heavy solid glass.

Pictures do not do it justice ; it is an absolutly beautiful piece. It is dated 5-1-1988 and signed "R Auotia".
