With a career spanning more than fifty years, Ercole Barovier’s prolific output and innovative designs helped establish 20th century Murano glass as art. Heir to one of the oldest glassmaking families in Venice, Ercole Barovier is deservedly famous for his reinterpretations of ancient techniques as well as inventive designs never before achieved.
