Historique et biographie : Fratelli Toso Les Fratelli Toso sont les fondateurs d'une verrerie toujours en activité sur l'île de Murano, près de Venise. En 1854, les six fils de Pietro Toso (Ferdinando, Carlo, Liberato, Angelo, Giovanni et Gregorio) créent une petite manufacture de verre, à une époque où l'industrie verrière de Murano est en déclin après l’occupation napoléonienne. Leur talent et leur innovation leur permettent de se faire remarquer rapidement lors des expositions de Vienne en 1865 et 1869, ainsi que dans d’autres salons à Venise, Paris, Milan, Treviso, Trente et au Vatican. À la fin du XIXe siècle, après la disparition des fondateurs, l’entreprise devient Antica Vetreria Fratelli Toso en 1901, dirigée par Lorenzo et Nicolo Toso. La manufacture continue d’évoluer et atteint environ 30 employés. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, l’entreprise se restructure et atteint 90 employés. Sous la direction de la troisième génération (Ermanno, Michele et Aldo Toso), elle développe ses relations commerciales à l’international, notamment avec le marché américain. Les Fratelli Toso ont utilisé plus de 1500 formes différentes de murrines, regroupées en catégories telles que Cattedrale, Farfalle, Kiku, Millepiedi, Millepunti, Pavone, Spicchi et Stellati. Jusqu’en 1972, la manufacture participe régulièrement aux Biennales de Venise et organise chaque année ses propres expositions. ----------- Millefiori Murrine Decorated Vase (circa 1920) Type: Glass vase Creation Date: Circa 1920 Dimensions: H: 20 cm Technique: Millefiori murrine decoration Bibliography for Variants of the Same Technique: Venetian Art Glass: An American Collection 1840-1970, Barovier, p. 188 L'Arte del Vetro a Murano, Dorigato, p. 241 Murrine and Millefiori: 1830-1930, Junck, pl. 173 Fragili e Supremamente Inutili, Figliola, p. 10 Venetian Glass 1890-1990, Barovier Mentasti, p. 38-39 This Murano glass vase is decorated with the millefiori murrine technique, a hallmark of Venetian glass artistry.

History & Biography: Fratelli Toso The Fratelli Toso are the founders of a glass factory still operating today on Murano Island, near Venice. In 1854, the six sons of Pietro Toso (Ferdinando, Carlo, Liberato, Angelo, Giovanni, and Gregorio) established a small glassworks at a time when Murano’s glass industry was in decline following Napoleonic occupation.

By the late 19th century, after the founders passed away, the company became Antica Vetreria Fratelli Toso in 1901, managed by Lorenzo and Nicolo Toso. The business expanded, employing around 30 workers. Following World War I, the company was restructured and reached 90 employees. Under the third generation (Ermanno, Michele, and Aldo Toso), it established global trade relations, particularly in the United States. The Fratelli Toso developed over 1500 different murrine patterns, classified into groups such as Cattedrale, Farfalle, Kiku, Millepiedi, Millepunti, Pavone, Spicchi, and Stellati. Until 1972, the glassworks regularly participated in the Venice Biennale and held annual exhibitions.
