Antonio Da Ros (1936-2012) graduated in 1957 from the Istituto Superiore di Arti Decorative ‘CARMINI’ in Venice.
In 1958, he started working in the Gino Cenedese glass factory which later became Ars Cenedese Murano. Under his art direction, the company developed various decorative lines of modern design. He introduced the technique of ‘SCAVO’ glass (A particular finish of the glass, looking like a glass brought to light from archaeological excavations), he pushed for the simplicity of the lines, the preciousness of the material and the modernity of the colors. His last works were a return to the traditional Murano techniques of and-blown glass, but re-interpreted with a contemporary sensibility.
