Lovely, Murano pink glass Pendant by Barovier & Toso.  All hand blown clear glass with brass details.  

Barovier & Toso is one of the oldest family businesses in the world, founded in 1295 as Barovier. It is probable that some Barovier, originally from Treviso, settled in Murano around 1291, when a law of the Republic imposed the concentration on the island of all glass furnaces." Jacobello was the first member of the Barovier family to work glass at this time. It is thought that the company originated in Treviso. The Toso family had been established in Murano since around 1350. In the 1400s Angelo Barovier created glass objects which are currently preserved in various museums.  Angelo is recognized as significant for uniting the knowledge which had been developed and handed down by the Barovier family. He was not only considered and artist but a scientist. Barovier & Toso continues to produce beautiful works on the island of Murano.
