Effetre is [[glass]] made on the island of Murano, Venice, Italy. And is very popular with [[lampworkers]] partly due to the vast array of colours available.

Many stockists of Effetre glass rods use their own colour descriptions and stock numbers. The last 3 digits used by any stockist for their stock numbers will refer to the Effetre factory stock number.
