During the sixteenth century, no fewer than three Barovier brothers had their own glass-making factories on Murano, each with its own trade-mark: an Angel, a Bell and a Star. Nowadays the three symbols appear together in the Barovier crest.
Barovier&Toso produces chandeliers both classic and in a more modern style, lighting for public spaces, as well as the goti de fornasa, a contemporary restatement of the drinking vessels produced by the glass-workers themselves. These have become a well-known example of what is called in Italian arte povera.
