The Murano Glass Animals reference library: a collector’s guide to 382 albums

Wondering who made your Murano glass animal? Your search starts here.

382 albums. More than 20,000 photographs listed. An extraordinary world of Murano glass animals waiting to be explored.

You have a beautiful glass duck, a shimmering fish, an elegant horse or a curious little creature, but one question keeps coming back: who made it? Perhaps it was a gift, a flea-market discovery or a treasured piece passed down through the family. Maybe it has a tiny label or an unfamiliar signature. Wherever your animal came from, the next chapter of its story could be waiting in the Murano Glass Animals (MGA) reference library.

Step inside a remarkable collection of 382 directly linked Facebook albums, full of Murano glass animals, glassmakers, historic furnaces, labels and identification references. From the most familiar ducks and swans to unusual creatures and specialist maker collections, there is an incredible amount to discover. This is a place to look closer, compare pieces, follow clues and enjoy the artistry of Murano along the way.

MGA brings this vast visual resource together in one place, creating a powerful starting point for anyone hoping to identify an animal, explore its possible origins or simply discover more of the glassmaking world behind it.

Why this reference library matters

Every Murano glass animal has details worth discovering. The curve of a neck, the shape of a tail, the way colour flows through the glass, the finish beneath the base or a surviving label can all point you towards a maker. Here you can put your own animal beside thousands of photographs and start spotting the similarities that matter. It's part treasure hunt, part visual journey through Murano's extraordinary glassmaking tradition, and it's open to every curious collector.

How to navigate

Start with your animal. Choose a category below, click the species that looks closest to yours and explore the photographs. See a familiar shape or colour combination? Follow the trail into the glassmaker, furnace, label and registration albums to learn more.

Every album title is a direct Facebook link. The links are set to open in a new tab where your publishing platform supports it, so you can enjoy the photos and return to this guide whenever you like.

Look for the little clues. Compare the head, beak, eyes, feet, colour, size and base, and check whether your piece carries a sticker or signature. You may find a close match or discover a maker worth investigating.

The photograph numbers beside album titles show the count displayed in the catalogue when it was captured. Some albums have no count shown.

Birds (30 albums)

Could your bird have a famous Murano maker? Browse sparkling ducks, graceful swans, vivid parrots, proud roosters, pheasants, owls and many more. With some of the library's richest photographic collections right here, this is an exciting place to begin if you have a bird-shaped treasure. Look closely at the beak, wings, tail and stance, then click the bird that looks most like yours.
