Description

Hardback book full of information and photos to aid with the identification of Murano glass made by the Barovier & Toso factory. An immensely useful book that I thoroughly recommend to any collector or dealer of Murano glass.

Synopsis

For more than four hundred years, the Venetians continued to work glass tirelessly, but the glassmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries never felt the need to innovate. Only in the second half of the 19th century did the glass industry feel the need for greater creativity: and the Barovier family were at the centre of the glass renaissance that took place in those years. Since then, artistic glassmaking has always been and always will be imbued with technical imagination. Far more than other glass industrialists, the Barovier family had the gift of being able to "think in glass," inspiring themselves and the entire Murano glass industry with new concepts. This volume documents in color 240 magical, astonishingly beautiful pieces, the fascinating result of a rich and creative imagination combined with an extraordinary capacity for technological innovation.
