The collaboration between ceramic artist Hans Stoltenberg-Lerche and the master blowers of Fratelli Toso was an important event in the history of Murano glass. From 1910 to 1914, Lerche designed unique pieces which initiated a century of collaboration between Murano’s master glassblowers and artists the world over.
