The recently discovered company archive of the glass manufacturer Vetri Decorativi Rag. Aureliano Toso, founded in 1938, is now being made accessible to a wider audience in over 1,500 design drawings for the very first time. Together with the company s history and a well-researched list of models, Marc Heiremans successfully reveals the entire artistic production of one of the most significant Muranese manufacturers. Innovative and breathtaking designs by Dino Martens and his successors Enrico Potz and Gino Poli are now able to be clearly identified and dated for the first time ever; this is an indispensable reference book with many previously unknown yet now attributable glass objects in large-format colour illustrations.
