Venetian glass without air bubbles is almost impossible. To what extent to accept them is another matter. Every single has to find out for himself. Via Aida Guemati

Even though Murano glass comes from Italy, the French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel has chosen a Murano glass bottle for Dior's fragrance J'adore L'Absolu. It is a limited edition of three hundred which will be available world-wide in November for $3,500 Jean- Michel Othoniel is not new to glass, he started to experiment with this material already in 1993 attracted by tranformations and mutations from one state to the other. Ten years later in 2003 he conceived Crystal Palace for the Cartier Foundation in Paris, where he asked Murano glass masters to create forms that would ultimately become enigmatic sculptures standing between jewelry, architecture and erotic objects. And now almost ten years later, for the first time he has accepted to work on a commercial project, and it came about because Bernard Arnault and his daughter, Delphine, of LVMH are collectors of his work. The company, which owns Dior, sponsored "My Way" when it was presented at the Pompidou in Paris. Interesting to note how Murano glass always finds a place in the world, maybe next time it could be a limited edition of Murano wine glasses, sorry Murano champagne flutes for Dom Perignon or Veuve Clicquot...

Even when you receive your set of 6 Murano glass flutes or wine glasses it could be that some of them include bigger or smaller air bubbles and even more than one. But why is that if you can get perfect crystal wine glasses, that are produced in Austria or some other country and these never have any air bubbles?
Many people do not realize, that the entire process in the Venetian glass furnaces is really totally handmade from the mixture of the silica blend until the packing. The ovens are like the ones used centuries ago, the only difference is in the fuel, but that does not change the working process. Fire is always fire and the melting pots are also always the same.
