Ercole Barovier para Barovier & Toso - Cuenco iridiscente, serie «A Grosse Costolature» con firma - Bowl - Murano glass

Ercole Barovier, working with Barovier & Toso, created an iridescent bowl from the series "A Grosse Costolature," a renowned Murano glass collection. The term "grosse costolature" refers to large ribbing or ridges decorating the glass surface, adding texture and visual interest. The iridescent finish imparts a shimmering, color-shifting effect, emblematic of Barovier & Toso's innovative surface treatments that highlight Murano's artistic excellence. Bowls in this style serve as both functional tableware and striking decorative objects, reflecting mid-20th-century experimentation combined with revered craftsmanship traditions. As a signed piece, it carries additional provenance and collector value tied to the Barovier family, who played a central role in Murano's glassmaking history.
