There are 100 glass factories on the island of Murano in the Venice lagoon.

[@TheTechAdmin]

How many in the city of Venice?

[@BassMaster.454]

That's crazy

[@SallyMars]

Why does it have to be made into a bubble first? And why does it get the gold leaf if it’s going to be colored a different color? So confused.

[@keshavglass6291]

Making it in a bubble allows a large surface of glass to be created and then cut, rather than making smaller diameter rod and then having to flatten. This way the wall thickness of the glass is even as well
The gold leaf is the front and the other colour (cobalt blue in this case) acts as a backing layer, giving it the opaque look

[@foofyastralpunk5875]

Actually I think the gold leaf adds sparkle to the colors.
