Every piece sold at the showroom comes with a 'Vetro Artistico Murano' certificate of authenticity, which is a regional trademark protected by Italian law.
The showroom functions as an extension of an e-commerce platform, allowing customers to view specific online inventory in person.
The facility is located on the Fondamenta S. Giovanni dei Battuti, a historical waterfront street originally associated with the 12th-century San Giovanni Battista monastery.
The Murano glass industry has been strictly regulated since 1291, when the Venetian Republic forced glassmakers to move their furnaces to the island to prevent fire hazards to the city's wooden structures.
Original Murano Glass OMG is a specialized gallery and showroom located directly on the island of Murano, focusing on authentic Venetian glass production. The facility operates strictly by appointment, providing a private environment for viewing and purchasing artisan-crafted glassware. It serves as an exhibition space for works verified by the 'Vetro Artistico Murano' trademark. Visitors can inspect pieces ranging from traditional chandeliers to contemporary art sculptures. The showroom displays items created using historical techniques such as filigrana, murrine, and blown glass. All items on display are certified as being handmade on the island of Murano. The location functions as a direct link between the master glassmakers and the public, excluding third-party retail markups. The site emphasizes provenance and the protection of local artisanal heritage.
The canal-facing windows of the showroom offer a classic Murano view with natural light that highlights the color profiles of the glass.
