Moretti is an artisan glass blowing factory in Venice, Italy. It was founded by two brothers, Carlo and Giovanni Moretti in 1958. The brothers built their business on the time-honored traditions of Murano crystal blowing in Italy, but took their artistry in a more contemporary direction. They create sleek clean-lined glassware that is known for its transparency. They use innovative technology and design to stay relevant and current in glass blowing.
We particularly love their work as it bridges the gap between casual and formal. You can use the glassware for a formal dinner setting or for a simple dinner for two. The clean lines of this glassware are sought after by many collectors! We particularly love their champagne flutes!!
