They have been boxed and in storage since then. As the owner of a large stained glass company in the UK, I could appreciate the quality of the glass. It's the largest collection in the UK and is at least 50% less cost than any other advertised.

Most of the Carlo Nason you see on the Internet came from me. Google photo search or search Carlo Nason Vase.

He combined different technical skills to create original and innovative pieces. The company and the height of its growth, operated from an area of six thousand square metres, had about twenty ovens and could produce 15 different colour ways daily.

It had always been run by family members. In its moment of maximum expansion, until 2000, the company had about 80 employees and was one of the largest on the island of Murano.
