Born 1899, died 1974 at the age of 75. At the age of 26, he becomes the artistic director of his father’s factory, « Vetreria Artistica Barovier et C ». He becomes a partner of the company four years later. In 1936, Ercole became sole owner of the enterprise and decided to merge it with another famous factory: S.A.I.A.R. Ferro Toso. In 1942, « Vetreria Artistica Barovier et C » was renamed « Barovier et Toso ». Ercole remained artistic director during 30 years, until 1972. Throughout his career, he kept inventing new techniques and colour combinations. Barovier’s contribution to the revival of glass art is essential.

The Barovier family has a long and significant history in Murano glassmaking, dating back to the late 13th century. Their legacy spans centuries, with notable figures like Angelo Barovier and Ercole Barovier contributing to the development and innovation of Murano glass. The family's involvement in glassmaking on Murano is rooted in a decree of the Venetian Republic that concentrated all glass furnaces on the island.
