Rare Large Barovier & Toso Mezzafiligrana Vintage Vase, Murano, Italy

Description: Mezzafiligrana vase by Barovier & Toso, Italy, 1960s. Pink and transparent Murano Glass. Etched signature on bottom "Barovier & Toso Murano". Height 11 inches. This rare and large Mid-Century Modern Barovier & Toso Mezzafiligrana Murano art glass (pink and clear striped vase), signed underside: "Barovier & Toso Murano". 11" H x 6" square at top | 5" round at bottom. The mezzafiligrana technique used to produce this vase, produced during the 1960s, is a reinvention of a technique begun in the 16th century on the island of Muraoin. The vase is in excellent vintage condition, no chips or damage. The Barovier family has been a premier glass maker in Venice for 700 years. Ercole Barovier (1884-1974) was the son of Benvenuto Barovier. At 30 he became a partner in his father's company, the Vetreria Artistica Barovier & C. After becoming its artistic director in 1926, he took over its management with his brother Nicol. Ercole Barovier became the only director in 1936, fostering the fusion between his own glass workshop and the S.A.I.A.R. Ferro-Toso. During WWII the new company was renamed Barovier & Toso. Over the course of his 50-year activity, Ercole Barovier invented numerous decorative techniques that contributed significantly to the modern reinvention of glass art in Venice. Barovier & Toso no longer produces "art glass" such as vases; they now exclusively make lighting fixtures. Hence, these vases are increasingly rare. The Incamiciato vase is a classic Venetian modern vase types ? the white interior is encased (incamiciato) in the red exterior. During the mid-20th century, Ercole Barovier produced some of the most remarkable art glass in Venice in the same company of artists as Carlo Scarpa, Fulvio Bianconi, Paolo Venini, Vittorio Zecchin, Gio Ponti, and others.
