From glasswware to glass factory: our history
We have been producing art glassware since 1934
Almost a hundred years have passed since our grandparents started the V.A.M.S.A. furnace. A courageous enterprise, based on sacrifice, passion, but above all on the craftsmanship that has always distinguished us today as it did then. From one generation to the next, the business has expanded to its current configuration: 600 square meters of space between the furnace where the workers process the glass and the showroom where our Murano glassware products and creations are on sale to the visiting public.
There are many aspects that distinguish our Murano glass factory:

They say about us on Tripadvisor
Showroom + Glass factory = Ellegi Murano Glass!
In Murano and Venice, there are plenty of showrooms where it is possible to buy pieces of artistic glassware. There are also many furnaces, but not all of them are open to the public. We at Ellegi Murano Glass offer a double opportunity in this sense: on the one hand, a guided tour to our glass factory, not far from Venice and therefore easy to reach even in a day thanks to the numerous connections. On the other hand, the possibility of exploring the Ellegi Murano Glass showroom, a two-storey exhibition space with many items of all sizes and types including mirrors, chandeliers, costume jewellery, sculptures and more. A truly wide choice that ensures endless shopping opportunities, from the simplest souvenirs to home furnishings.
And if you can’t take what you want with you, don’t worry. Collaboration with worldwide active freight forwarders allows us to send our Murano glassware by insured courier to every destination, both in Europe and elsewhere. A service that will not fail to satisfy the needs of those who, near or far, want to receive authentic Murano glassware at their address, selecting them on the spot without worrying about anything else. But also, simple and practical for sending a gift to the home of friends or relatives, thus giving the pleasure of a visit to a magical and fascinating place like Murano.
We look forward to having you with us and showing you the fruit of our teamwork. Please note that the showroom and the glass factory are both located in the same building, so you won’t have to travel by ferry or other transport systems to get from the tour to the exhibition. Why postpone? Take advantage of our experience and book your next visit to the furnace now. The entrance fee is only 5 euros per person, with no extra charge to enter the showroom. And if you need more information, you can contact our customer service by email or phone without any obligation. Elledi Murano Glass awaits you at Fondamenta San Giovanni dei Battuti 4b/5 in Murano, in the Venetian lagoon.
