Fornace Artigiana Ai Dogi — Local services in Venice

Great place to find a cheap but authentic souvenir on Murano. There is also a tiny workshop visible from the back of the shop where you can watch some of the items for sale being made.

Be warned that like a lot of the souvenir shops on the island not all of the items on offer are made there - primarily the cheap and tiny glass animals that you'll see in many other shops.
