Hand-blown Murano 'Goto' Glasses (pair)

A thousand years of Venetian glassblowing you can drink from — bought feet from the furnace, with the paperwork to prove it.

Price: 120 EUR (Typical furnace/gallery price for a pair of authentic hand-blown goti (€50-90 each depending on artist))

Where to buy: Furnace showrooms on Murano island itself (take the vaporetto), or Venice galleries displaying the Vetro Artistico® Murano trademark sticker

• Authenticity: demand the numbered Vetro Artistico® Murano trademark sticker and a certificate — Venice souvenir stalls are flooded with Chinese-made 'Murano-style' glass
• Handmade means asymmetry: perfectly identical pieces are a red flag
• A €120+ purchase clears the tax-free minimum — Murano furnaces issue the forms; ask before paying
• Ship-or-carry: furnaces offer insured shipping; hand-carry only with rigid packaging
