Background: The origins of the Mazzega glassworks date back to 1929, when Romano Mazzega founded a small company in Murano bearing his name. The factory produced high-quality pieces, but primarily inspired by the work of its competitors. In 1937, the Romano Mazzega company was sold to Aureliano Toso, who renamed it Vetri Decorativi Rag. Aureliano Toso. The following year, Romano Mazzega opened a new glassworks, Fratelli Mazzega, in partnership with his brother Gino and sister Maria. The company adopted the name IVR (Industrie Vetrarie Riunite) Mazzega around 1950.
The post-war period offered Mazzega the opportunity for significant artistic development, particularly with the prestigious master craftsman Ermanno Nason commissioning a series of creations based on designs by some of the most celebrated contemporary artists commissioned by Fucinacteau, including Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Jean Co. This development included works by Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Jean Co. The cooperative also welcomed independent designers such as Luigi Scarpa Croce, Aldo Bergamini, Carlo Scarpa, and Renzo Burchiellaro. From 1958, the IVR Mazzega company had the painter Gianfranco Purisiol as its artistic director. During his four years at Mazzega, he developed a highly original glassmaking style where the whimsical variety of forms fully integrated and enhanced the successful characteristics of the company's style: luminous, diffused, and softened colors, all within the intimate confines of magnificent crystal. This glassworks ceased operations in 1983.
