Vetreria Artistica Oball was founded in 1978 on the island of Murano, Venice, Italy, by Luigi Onesto, who had previously worked at Gambaro & Poggi since the age of 15. Luigi was later joined at the Oball factory by his sons, Fabio Onesto and Michele Onesto. Oball are best known for their very impressive, multi layered sommerso vases, bottles and other objects. The Oball factory identification code for the "Vetro Artistico Murano" certification is 004.
