Barovier & Toso and “Vetri Murano” labels

Founded in 1295, Barovier & Toso is one of the oldest glassworks in Murano still in operation. Led for centuries by the Barovier family, its history is closely linked to that of the Republic of Venice and the development of artistic glass on the island of Murano.

From the Renaissance onwards, the family played a major role in the evolution of glassmaking techniques, notably with Angelo Barovier, to whom the introduction of crystalline glass is attributed. Production is also distinguished by the use of enameled decoration and complex techniques such as murrines.

In the 20th century, the house experienced renewed growth under the impetus of Ercole Barovier, designer and chemist, creator of thousands of models. The association with the Toso family in 1936 gave birth to Barovier & Toso, today recognized for its Murano glass creations combining artisanal tradition and formal innovation.

“Vetri Murano” labels feature numerical codes allowing identification of the corresponding glassworks. They come in transparent or opaque white form and bear the mention “Vetri Murano” accompanied by the “VM” logo in black.

Implemented by the Consorzio Venezia Vetro, founded in 1975, they were used approximately between 1981 and 2001 to guarantee authenticity and promote Murano productions. On this model of hexagonal wall lights, the number “040” corresponds to the LIP glassworks of Murano.

These Barovier & Toso amber Murano wall lights are distinguished by their hexagonal shape and the quality of their glass. We had previously offered you, for example, lamps by Federica Marangoni which featured the same labels.
