Stunning Barovier and Toso Murano multicolored art glass vase with aventurine flecks. Hand blown and resting on a marble base. The piece wonderfully detailed rim, with scroll decoration and in the center a magnificent flower. Profusely covered in copper aventurine that glitters in any light.

This vase does not have any imperfections, when images were taken, the photographer could not obtain the perfect angle to diffuse the lights. The spots visible on pictures derive only from flashlight.

Absolutely beautiful piece. Measures: 8" diameter x 11 3/4" high Weighs 8.1 kilos, unpacked.

Perfect in any setting.

Ercole Barovier, 1936–1972

The Barovier family's glassmaking on Murano traces to Jacobello Barovier, documented from around 1295, making Barovier & Toso one of the world's oldest continuously operating family businesses. Angelo Barovier developed a notably clear glass formula in the 15th century, and his daughter Marietta Barovier is credited with the multi-layered star-patterned "rosetta" bead.

The modern firm was established in 1878 as Artisti Barovier; it relocated briefly to Livorno during World War I before returning to Murano in 1919. In 1936 it merged with Ferro Toso, taking the name Barovier & Toso in 1942. Ercole Barovier led the firm as art director from 1936 until 1972, guiding it through Art Deco and modernist design.
