Ercole Moretti is a glass furnace which produces Venetian pearls and Murano glass objects and is specialised in the “millefiori” technique. The company was founded in 1911 on the island of Murano where it is still today; its location offers inspiration and lymph for the creation of handcrafted products with the typical forms and motifs of local tradition, glass pearls for jewellery, souvenirs and other accessories as well as plates and decorative ornaments in murrine glass, a rich and fascinating technique used by Roman glassmakers. This company has continued this important tradition with passion, inventiveness and competence for over a century by creating refined objects to adorn both the person and the ambience.

Murano glass needs no introduction. However, Ercole Moretti, a historical Murano company now led by cousins Marcello and Paolo, is the last one still creating objects using only the world-renowned Murrine glass. Murrine, derived from an ancient Roman processing technique, are locally produced starting from long glass rods, exclusively hand crafted by the Moretti family by implementing refined and very complex techniques, also in terms of colour pairings. The company also used to create wonderful glass buttons, distributed on a global scale, but nowadays even the historical warehouse supplies are almost exhausted. Paolo and Marcello Moretti are very attentive towards the evolution of customs and tastes: they also introduced a Design Collection, in collaboration with popular specialists, which has had a revolutionary experimental impact. For Hands on Design they produce exclusive items: these products are extremely modern but still follow and bring forward Murano’s tradition.
