In 1932, Arte Vetraria Muranese, often referred to as AVeM, was founded by several glassblowers - Antonio Luigi Ferro, his son Egidio Ferro, Emilio Nason, and Galliano Ferro. The technical director was Giulio Radi. It is known the some early designs were created by noted painter Vittori Zecchin.

The AVeM studio is best know for the "Tutti Frutti" range of bowls and vases popularized from the 1950's, and attributed to artisan Dino Martens. Other noted AVeM foundry artisans include Ansolo Fuga, Georgio Ferro.
