Glass vessels dating from the Roman era have been excavated across the Veneto. Some of these glass works incorporate classic techniques, such as murrina that we now associate with Murano glass, and they look remarkably consistent with glass produced in Venice even today.
Barovier & Toso is a luxury Venetian glassmaker that specializes in mouth-blown crystal chandeliers, mirrors, and other decorative objects. Founded in 1295, the company is one of the world's oldest family businesses. The name Barovier comes from the term berroviere, which means "highwayman/policeman". The company was renamed Barovier & Toso in 1942. Barovier & Toso is three brands rolled in one, following a marriage between members of two prominent Murano artisanal glassmaking families, Ferro and Toso, leading to the formation of a company called Ferro Toso in 1901 and a subsequent merger in 1936 with the then 650-year-old Barovier family glass business, Vetreria Artistica Barovier & Co. The merger modernized the two businesses and led to a period of unprecedented creativity under the direction of Ercole Barovier, a descendant of Jacobello Barovier and master glass designer.
