That's a very nice one 

Do you know the maker?

Thanks.

Hi Alexander

Sorry but cant help with the maker - its  2" (50mm) diameter typical Murano - flat polished base - top facet and 4 side facets all flat. Picture is of the centre rose it is surrounded by a garland of 6 further identical roses.

Best regards

Derek

Thanks Leni!

Mine is from this Fornace  http://www.mazzega.it/ Perhaps I could visit them on my trip to Murano in March?  (See Cafe thread)

You might consider the possibility that this is from Pairpoint on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.  Not sure, just a possibility.

Hi, I hadn't considered Parpoint initially, I have a Parpoint with the common Parpoint rose,
it's farily different from the rose in the this weight.

I do get a "old" vibe from this weight.
So for now I'll go with "inspired by clichy and baccarat".

I doubt I will be able to id this weight until I can match the little complex canes.

Thanks for all your input tho
