Summary
“Inspired in Murano,” the conclusion of a three-part travel chronicle, describes glassblowing and mosaic work in Murano and Venice, lace-making in Burano, and the preservation and decline of specialized craft traditions.
Evidence limits
This is a firsthand travel feature; its descriptions of prices, techniques, and craft conditions are reported observations, not a systematic industry survey.
