Murano glass, the historic ruling bans the export of the finest

The Regional Administrative Court of Veneto has established that Murano glass works that possess particular value can have the protection of the State, even if created in series, and can therefore not be taken outside the national borders.

In that way, the Tribunale amministrativo regionale del Veneto thus dismissed the action brought by a company which owned certain Murano glass signed Venini and Barovier, the freedom of which it requested, contrary to the statements of the Superintendence of the City of Venice.

The ownership of the Murano glasses in question would have wanted the expatriation of the pieces for an exhibition that had as its final purpose the sale of the same.
