Six tiny glass sweets that have absolutely no calories and will never melt in your hand. That's the magic of Murano glass candy — all the joy of a sweet shop, none of the dentist visits. These gorgeous handblown glass bonbons from the 1970s are each a miniature explosion of colour: swirls of red, yellow, orange, blue, and white suspended in clear glass, with delicate twisted wrapper ends that look impossibly fragile and are somehow completely intact after 50+ years.

Each piece is unique — no two are identical, because that's what happens when a skilled Venetian glassblower decides to have a little fun. Some have confetti-style speckles, some have bold stripes, some have polka dots floating inside like tiny planets. Together they look like the world's most glamorous sweet dish, or the world's most confusing actual sweet dish (please don't eat them).

Murano glass candy has been collected since the early 20th century and remains one of the most charming and accessible forms of Italian art glass. These 1970s examples are particularly vibrant — the colours are rich, the glass is clear, and the craftsmanship is exactly what you'd expect from the island that's been making glass since the 13th century.
