Barovier & Toso
History:
A popular glass furnace during the 20th century that produced many
important and collectable designs,
including Intarsio and Barbarico.
They now specialize in large-scale lighting projects,
but still
produce some vases.
The Barovier family’s involvement with glass can
be traced back to the fifteenth century.
The museum at the factory
in Murano has a must-see collection.
Most Barovier pieces are not
signed.
Condition: In very
good original condition.
Will be re-wired upon purchase.
If you would like the bases polished and lacquered,
we can also have this done for an additional fee.
Item # LADFL57: Price: $ 18,500 for the Pair
