Happy Easter!

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. It is the celebration of the mystery that is the basis of the Christian faith.


Easter celebrations began in A.D. 325 when the Nicean Council decided that Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon after the Spring Equinox. Unless the first full moon also rose on a Sunday, in which Easter would be celebrated on the Sunday after that. For over 1500 years we have continued to mark the celebration of Easter based on these calculations.

The Easter Egg is one of the most significant symbols of Easter. There are many modern, vintage and antique Murano glass Easter egg ornaments on the market.  

Murano glass Easter eggs can be solid glass, hollow or cut in half to form a dish or holder.

Since the egg shape is a good one to hold candy and other foods, many manufacturers of glass have made serving dishes in an egg shape for Easter.

The art of creating Murano Glass

The process of making Murano glass is rather complex. Most Murano glass art is made using the lampworking technique. The glass is made from silica, which becomes liquid at high temperatures. As the glass passes from a liquid to a solid state, there is an interval wherein the glass is soft before it hardens completely, allowing the artisan to shape the material.
