Ercole Barovier shell shaped centerpiece of the series Grosse costolature. Barovier & Toso, Murano, 1940s. Since the 1920s he has participated in national and international events relating to glass and furnishings.

His works are exhibited in personal retrospectives at the Angelicum in Milan (1951), at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York (1959), in Murano (1975) and at the Venice Biennale (1976).
