Since the 15th century, the name of Murano has been virtually synonymous with the creation of the finest and most elegant glass. The industry expanded considerably after the Sack of Constantinople 1203/04, an event that had a tremendous impact on Venice. Sophisticated glass techniques such as enameling were brought in from the east at that time, but the Sack of Constantinople also brought Venice absolute dominance of the trade in luxury goods around the whole Mediterranean.
From an early date the Republic organized its glass trade and industry in a conscious effort to achieve a worldwide monopoly. In1291, the Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to the island of Murano because the glassworks represented a fire danger in Venice, whose buildings were mostly wooden at the time.
What made Murano's glassmakers so special? For one thing, they were the only people in Europe who knew how to make a mirror. They also developed or refined technologies such as crystalline glass, enameled glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (aventurine), multicolored glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo), and imitation gemstones made of glass. Their virtual monopoly on quality glass lasted for centuries, until glassmakers in Northern and Central Europe introduced new techniques and fashions around the same time that colonists were immigrating to the New World.
