Marina e Susanna Sent
ARTISANAL, GLASS
Wearable waterfalls and unpoppable bubble necklaces are Venice style signatures,
thanks to the Murano-born Sent sisters, whose minimalist art-glass statement jew-
ellery is featured in museum shops worldwide. See new collections at this flagship,
their Murano studio, or the San Marco branch (at Ponte San Moise 2090). (

Danghyra
ARTISANAL, CERAMICS
Spare white bisque cups seem perfect for a Zen tea ceremony, but look inside: that
iridescent lilac glaze is pure Carnevale. Danghyra's striking ceramics are hand-
thrown in Venice with a magic touch - her platinum-glazed bowls make the
simplest pasta dish appear fit for a modern doge. (

Lauretta Vistosi
ARTISAN, ACCESSORIES
Murano-born artisan Lauretta Vistosi's signature, handmade handbags, eyeglass
cases and journals are emblazoned with Murano-glass bullseyes. Each piece has
flourishes like contrasting orange outstitching, and prices are surprisingly reason-
able for one-of-a-kind finds, starting at €18. (
