"Crystalline glass" "Crystalline glass" is defined as colorless and transparent glass, decolorized with manganese dioxide, obtained with purified raw materials. Since the Middle Ages, crystal has been considered the finest Murano glass. The secret of its quality lies in the purity of the raw materials used, in the use of decolourants, in the preparation of the vitrifiable mixture and in the conduct of the melting. "Gold leaf decoration" . The gold leaf is placed near the hot glass paste during the initial processing phase, then it is covered with a further layer of glass, taken from the crucible. Following the final blowing of the glass paste, the metal leaf breaks up inside into small fragments or powder. "- The Pauly & C. | CVM - Compagnia Venezia Murano, is an artistic glass factory in Murano founded more than one hundred and forty years ago. Its name comes from the merger in 1919 between Pauly & C., founded in 1902, and the Compagnia di Venezia e Murano, founded in 1866. The company also incorporates the brand of the historic MVM Cappellin & C, a company acquired in 1932 together with the designs and catalogs. In 1990 Pauly & C. | CVM - Compagnia Venezia Murano also acquired the Toso Vetri d'Arte glass factory. Two generations of master glassmakers were trained in its glass factories, some of whom, after learning the art of glass and developing their own qualities, at different times, detached themselves to found their own glass factories. Today, the doors of the old Paly showroom in Palazzo Cappello are closed, but thanks to a group of four Venetian companies, they have come together to save the prestigious brand."
