Description
Murano mid-century modern glass bowl with Toso label.
Very unusual Toso labeled Murano glass bowl with large air bubbles inserted within the glass. We haven’t seen this large elongated bubble decor on a Toso piece before.
The worn Toso blue and silver label is still attached. Reads: Murano Glass Made in Italy.
Definitely a mod Mid-20th Century Modern design. The color also matches the mid-century modern style. It’s a translucent smoked green, greenish/black.
The elongated bubbles were blown into the hand-formed glass by blowpipe. The bubbles create areas of colorless glass. Original and very unique.
The Toso’s are one of the most ancient Murano families. After the devastation of the occupation of Napoleon, the glass industry in Murano fell to ruins. Fratelli Toso revived the glass industry in 1854. Since then, family members have carried on the tradition and still create beautiful glass today. Read more about Toso…
