Barbini Murano

The Barbinis have been among the most important glass companies in the history of glass on Murano - an island where glass is a way of life. Going back in time, one discovers ancestors who were bead makers, glass blowers, entreprenuers, and artists. They were called Francesco, Stefano, Iseppo, Zorzi Barbini... today, it is Alfredo. All of them share the tradition of the highest skill of maestros of glass: a skill that is not only used to make a product, but is used as a true means of expression. The Barbini glass company has been artistically directed since its foundation in 1950 by maestro Alfredo Barbini. It has a particular artistic style to which it has remained faithful for decades.
