Murano Glass Paperweight Barovier & Tosa

About the Item

Paperweight Murano glass made by Barovier & Tosa Art Glass with the original label to the underneath , barovier & tosa murano venezia. The Barovier family has a history in Murano dating back to 1295, when the first of their family, Jacobello Barovier, began working with glass, just four years after all glassmakers in Venice were ordered to move to Murano due to the risk of fire. In 1877, Antonio Salviati together with technician Antonio Camozzo, glass blower Giovanni Barovier, and four sons of his brother Antonio Barovier: Benvenuto, Giuseppe, and Benedetto (also glass blowers), founded Salviati Dott. Antonio. Salviati was bought out by Camozzo and the Baroviers in 1883, and the company was renamed Vetri Artistici - Fratelli Barovier. In 1886 the name changed again to Artisti Barovier. Benvenuto left in 1919, succeded by his sons Nicolo and Ercole, prompting another name change to Vetreria Artistica Barovier & Co. Nicolo and Ercole managed the company alongside Napoleone Barovier (son of Giuseppe). Luigi Ferro and Antonio Seguso were master glass blowers at the company at this time. Napoleone, Luigi and Antonio left in 1931 to form their own company Barovier Seguso & Ferro two years later (eventually this became Seguso Vetri d'Arte). Nicolo left in 1934, leaving Ercole Barovier as the sole owner. In 1936 the company merged with Ferro Toso. The merged company was first known as Ferro Toso Barovier, Vetrerie Artistiche Riunite S.A., before finally becoming Barovier e Toso, which they are still named today. Chief designer Ercole Barovier created many well known designs, including Crepuscolo, Brillantati, Zebrati, Graffito, Acanto, and of course the popular ribbed, rope like design Cordonato d'Oro. The company still exists today.
