Writing about glass does not mean writing about a single reality but a set of varied realities in which functional needs, scientific research, technological progress and artistic aspiration interact.

Ancient Roman glass which derives from the several provinces of the Empire is relatively uniform in terms of technological aspects and aesthetics, so much so that it is sometimes difficult to ascribe a piece to a particular area, with the exception of certain typologies connected to specific production centers. This changed in the middle Ages. First in the Islamic and Byzantine Empire and then in the Europe experiencing a rebirth in the arts, glass gradually began to have distinctive stylistic and technical characteristics relative to each area.

Without the doubt, the supremacy of Venetian glass in the Renaissance and the spread of facon de Venise glass delayed this process, creating considerable productive uniformity in glass art, with the exception of certain regional peripheries that escaped Venetian influence. However very soon, as early as the 17th century in certain countries such as Bohemia and England, new and unique glass traditions were developing, from glass composition and the adoption of techniques that made the most of the material to the evolution of types and forms unique to the place. With the passing of time, but above all in the 20th century, national " school" became more and more widespread, each one having specific technology and a very individual sensibility in relation to glass.

An exhibition or a publication that gathers works conceived and created in different countries heightens their beauty and at the same time draws out their individual characteristics. For this to be meaningful and enriching, the viewer, or in this case the exhibition visitor must approach the material with an open mind. He or she must reject a priori the temptation to establish a ranking, or enquire into which of the different glass traditions is the most valid, because each one should be valued according to an individual reading: a visitor should not try to find the lightness of Venetian glass in Bohemian glass or the essential sculptural quality of glass from the North in Venetian glass; he or she should not reproach the Finnish for excessive chromatic simplicity.

Our field of activity is wholesale floral supply, and we tried to share some information about history of the glass as a one of the elements of this business.
