Animals constituted one of young Oscar’s first contacts with glass, when he began his experience in ‘lampwork’, working with a torch at a workbench. But his real education came with the designs of his father Licio, and later with his own creations/creatures, making the pieces in ‘solid’ glass which the Vetreria Zanetti is now specialized in.
Oscar Zanetti follows strict traditional Murano glassmaking techniques, but also pushes for design innovations. As a result Zanetti Murano has become one of the most important furnaces on Murano.
