Cesare Sent

I was attracted to this showroom by the juxtaposition of both the sublime and the macabre in the shop windows (see my pics for image of a teddy with a knife thru its heart, and this was placed below a striking tree glass painting.
Prices were slightly expensive, so all I ended up buying were bright red earrings for 12 euros. We were served by a lovely girl, who explained that the glass in my earrings wasn’t hollow, and hence had a different effect from some of the other pieces I was looking at. But if I had serious money to spend on artistic stuff, would definitely be back here.

We came to Murano on our visit to Venice — much like everyone else — in hopes if finding some amazing works of art. Shop after shop, just about everything looked exactly the same. After a while, they all looked like tchotchke shops.
We came expecting to purchase something that would really stand out in our home but most things we found that we loved were only small things. When we had just about given up and were on our way back to the vaporetto, we stumbled upon Cesare Sent.
The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a lovely lady who we later came to know as Cesare Sent’s wife. Cesare Sent has some of the more unique work we’ve seen on Murano. One doesn’t have to look closely to be able to tell it’s high quality craftsmanship. He’s listed on
, Murano’s guarantee to authentic Murano glass, among many other top artist lists. When we walked into his gallery, we immediately spotted serval pieces we had to have. Now we’re happy owners of Cesare Sent art and will more than likely purchase more in the future.
Definitely checkout this gallery. It’s beautiful! Happy shopping in Murano!
