A beautiful addition to any home, and something a little different if you are looking for a new lamp, a glass murano table lamp is just the thing if you are bored with lamps that only have canvas shades. These lamps have glass shades that exude light in whatever color the shade is tinted in, and the shades always match the base perfectly. If you wish to know more, see this collection.

Buying Guide

How do I identify a Murano glass lamp?

To identify a Murano glass table lamp, look for labels and stickers, especially on their base. Authentic Murano glass usually includes the logo of the Murano Glass Consortium and/or a QR code that directs you to their website.

You can also look up the name of the factory where it was produced: in fact, the definition of Murano glass involves glassware that was handmade on the Venice island of the same name. Sadly, if the factory is located elsewhere, you’re not looking at an original Murano glass table lamp.

How do you display Murano glass?

Displaying your Murano glass is a delightful task that will leave you with a sense of accomplishment. To make your glassware stand out, set them on floating shelves against light-colored walls, or a window as the light enhances the beauty and transparency of this type of glassware.

Group different shapes, colors, and sizes together to form an art display that is pleasing to the eyes, or group your glassware to form various shapes such as circular, square or triangular ones. The triangular setting seems to be the most popular and this is because it brings balance and harmony to the displays.

Play around with different ways to display your curated glassware and change the displays often to provide a fresh perspective to your display. Adding glass Murano table lamps to your interior will bring the entire display together harmoniously.

Do my table lamps have to match?

Your glass Murano table lamp choices only have to match if you want them to! There are some aesthetics such as minimalism and modernism that do place an emphasis on symmetry and matching decor.

However, there are many other style options, such as vintage, farmhouse, eclectic, and maximalism, that embrace lots of different pieces placed together!

In order to make mismatched table lamps look artistic and not cluttered, just make sure that they have complementary colors—or that you don’t over-decorate with lots of smaller pieces of decor as well.
