Highly collectible glassware for special occasions.

In 1859, Antonio Salviati, a lawyer, in love with the mythical lagoon city of Venice, decides to revitalize the Venetian glass industry that was eclipsed by both English and Bohemian glass.

Employing the best Murano glass makers and technicians, Salviati developed a new method of making mosaic with glass, which rapidly found favour in European courts and capitals before conquering America and Asia.

He also created in his workshop a collection of glasses, stemware, bowls, chandeliers and vases, focusing specially on pieces engraved and decorated with gold.

The collection triumphed almost immediately at many international exhibitions and soon, subsidiaries were opened in New York, London, Paris, St. Petersburg, Frankfurt.

Following this success, Antonio Salviati founded a school so that artists could come and learn glass working techniques.

In the 19th century, Salviati became property of the Camerino family who decided to leave mosaic and to focus on the production of decorative objects and lighting.

In 1960, a new creative impulse was influenced by Luciano Gaspari - the Artistic Director and the frequent collaboration with architects such as Sergio Asti and Romano Chirivi as well as with international designers such as Heinz Oestergaard and Claire Falkenstein.

Today, Salviati remains one of the most exclusive exponents of glass making.
