Galerie Plaisance

Fratelli Toso was founded in 1854 by the brothers Ferdinando, Carlo, Liberato, Angelo, Giovanni and Gregorio. During the first years of production the glasshouse produced  domestic and pharmaceutical  glass but very soon their production included reproductions of antique glass pieces.
In the early 1900's the company produced objects and chandeliers according with the Murano floral style and executed with the antique technique of "murrine".
Later, during the Twenties Fratelli Toso produced traditional transparent glass pieces. 
In 1936 the artistic direction of the company was taken by Ermanno Toso who reinterpreting the techniques of Murano with a personnal style.
From then and especially during the Sixties and Seventies the production of the glasshouse was turned to the modernity as we can see in the transparent glass works of Renato, Giusto and Rosanna Toso.
The glasshouse was closed in 1982.
