Barovier & Toso sweet box, Rostrato Murano glass, Italy, 1960s

Rostrato box by Barovier and Toso, crafted in Murano, Italy, during the 1960s. Notable example of mid-century Murano glass art, characterized by its distinctive 'Rostrato' technique, which features a textured surface resembling pointed, beak-like protrusions (rostrato meaning 'beaked' in Italian). This technique, pioneered by Barovier in the 1930s, creates a striking visual and tactile effect. Perfect state of conservation.
