Glass making in Eastern Europe and Romania comes from the Murano style in Italy as most of the artisans studied glassmaking there. Up to the 13th century, European glassmaking was exclusive to Venice. But frequent fires prompted Venetian authorities to shift the furnaces to the island of Murano.
There has been a long history of making glass in Romania. Romanian glassmakers have successfully passed on this art for several generations and the craft continues to thrive in this part of Eastern Europe. In. Romania, it is said that artisans only pass on the secrets of glass making to members of their family. More importantly, there is a rigid hierarchy in obtaining the coveted position as a glass blower. For example, a young man may take years before he can get to that stage within this strict hierarchy.
Romanian glass is comparable to any great piece of Eastern European mouth blown glass. And they are nothing like the ones that are made by machinery or inexpensive duplicates. Traditionally Romanian factories and glass studios manufacture clear glass utilizing pellets that are distinct and commonly found in Western Europe. And depending on the artisan, German pigments are popularly used for coloring or painting glass. The combination of this blend makes Romanian crafted glass truly a superior product anywhere in Europe. Though Romanian glasswork is normally not made from crystal, nonetheless, it carries a similar purity and shine. Glass products in Romania are not just great looking, they are also being produced to suit a host of lifestyles, from the traditional to modern and the line of products are guaranteed quality glassware that is both functional and decorative.
Romanian mouth-blown glassware is made by highly skilled artisans. They are very creative pieces with exceptional quality. They are also a prized collector’s item. Some of the work includes vases and bowls that are made as centerpieces as well as plates—the artisans who create these masterpieces learned their skills in Murano itself.
The contemporary glassware is not just placed in galleries to be on display, they also make great gifts, particularly wedding gifts, and decorations especially in restaurants, businesses and hotels. They can also be used as decorations while designing your home.
Romanian mouth-blown glassware
选项
A、is popular with collectors.
B、is highly valued by collectors.
C、wins many awards for collectors.
D、sells at a higher prize to collectors.
答案
B
解析
第4段第3句中的prized是关键词,意为“被看作有价值的”,可见,这与B同义。prized并没有“获奖”的意思,因此,C不正确;prized与A的popular也不同,因为“获得高评价的”东西并不必然就是“流行的”。
