| Venetian
Goblets, the Story |
|
Giuliano
Ballarin is a Murano Glass Master who faithfully follows the
tradition his father Roberto and the heavily branched Family
tree of Masters that over the past centuries have created the
best of the Venetian Goblets and Cups.
The Venetian Goblets were sought after by the European
Royalty of yesteryears beyond their esthetic appeal and the pleasure
of drinking wine in them. It was thought that the glass they are
made of contains a substance that neutralizes poison! |
