Venetian Glass from the Island of Murano

So many sites spend paragraphs detailing the history of how glass came to be made on the Venetian island of Murano, assuming that you know why this would be of interest.

I'd rather wow with the glass products made there and leave you to read about the history elsewhere if you're interested.  I offer you a good link below.

Ready?  I doubt it!
