Vintage Mauve Hobnail Murano Table Lamp Attributed to Barovier & Toso
About the Item
This Mid Century Murano glass table lamp is made in the style of Barovier & Toso, a renowned Murano glasshouse. The lamp was crafted from white glass forming a gourd shape on the bottom and a half dome on top.
The pattern of the glass is made using the hobnail glass technique with layers of mauve glass poured over. Hobnail glass has a regular pattern of raised knobs like the hobnail studs sometimes used on boot soles. It can be a pattern created by blowing a glass vessel into a mold, or it can be achieved by pressing the glass into a mold. The blush pink/mauve and white hues were achieved by adding selected metal oxides to the silica during melting. To achieve the colors, an incredible amount of accuracy is required in terms of proportions and timing.
The Barovier family from Murano, Italy, have been world leaders in glass production since the Middle Ages. The Company was founded in 1295. In 1939 the company merged with the Toso family to become “Barovier & Toso”. The glasshouses on the island of Murano, like Barovier & Toso, are famous for florid glassworks made of pincered and molded blown glass.
Crafted in the renowned glass houses of Murano, this lamp is a testament to centuries of glassmaking excellence. Its intricate details and craftsmanship make it a standout piece, perfect for enhancing the elegance of any space, whether traditional or contemporary.

Vintage Murano Bullicante & Gold Aventurine Wall Sconce by Barovier & Toso
By Barovier&Toso
Located in Chicago, IL
This exquisite sconce is crafted by the legendary Murano glass studio, Barovier and Toso.
The clear shade is decorated with "Bullicante", which in Italian literally means "full of bubbles". To get the controlled bubble effect, a metallic mold with spikes comes in contact with molten glass. The spikes create small holes on the surface of the glass, creating a pattern. After it’s been left to cool down for a few moments, the whole piece is submerged in molten glass again. This second layer completely covers the first one. The layering process is repeated several times. The holes previously impressed on the first layer are not covered, thus causing air to be trapped between the layers of glass in the desired pattern.
It is finished off with a finial of gold aventurine, whereby the glass has gold inclusions. Aventurine, as its name suggests, is a decoration made by "aventitius" surface effects with flecks of gold, a 15th century technique. The result is this magnificent, exquisitely crafted, wall light, full of subtle texture and dynamism.
Has been rewired to meet US electrical standards and uses one base light bulb with a maximum of sixty watts. We recommend using LED lights because they help preserve the antique fixture...
