Gondola Red Jug

The color red is historically tainted with a plethora of symbolic attributions. Murano has its own potions to create the most complicated color to obtain in the furnace: the Murano red. Produced since the XIII century, when glassblowers were moved to the secluded island carrying their secrets with them, the color is made with cuprous copper oxide and is considered one of the most difficult to manage as it has the same composition as other colors such as amber and orange.
