*Barovier & Toso Cordonato Oro refers to a collection of Murano art glass created by the prestigious Italian glassmaking company Barovier & Toso. The "Cordonato" technique, a signature of Barovier & Toso, suspends threads of real gold leaf within the glass itself. "Oro" translates to "gold" in Italian, further highlighting this distinctive feature. These pieces,typically Murano glass bowls or vases, showcase not just the suspended gold but also a vibrant interplay of colors, often incorporating clear, green, blue, or pink hues. The "Cordonato Oro" series exemplifies the artistry and innovation that Barovier & Toso has brought to the world of Murano glass for centuries. less
