The renowned Murano glass makers Barovier & Toso have been crafting stunning glass pieces since 1295 and this vase is a wonderful example of the esteemed glass makers expertise.

It's incorporation into glassmaking requires skill and expertise to achieve the desired effect. For centuries their practiced artisans have used it's shimmering appearance to add depth and dimension to their work, enhancing it's beauty and overall aesthetic.
