« on: November 13, 2008, 07:19:20 PM »
I have got this little nice item short time ago.
I was surprised of the pretty canes, but I have still difficulties
of ID.
Sometimes they seemed to me english or scottish,
somtimes french.
Kind regards.
Lothar

I have a Murano weight that has orange-red and green canes that are very similar to what you have. The white canes around the outer edge look like Murano to me too. Do you have a picture of the entire weight and a picture of the base?
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.

Do you have a picture of the base and a full shot of the entire weight and a side view? These are also helpful clues when the canes are unfamiliar.

It's definitely not Scottish or French. Those 'zig zag' white canes look very Murano to me.

Additional photos would be very helpful.

Hi Lothar

I agree that based on the photos supplied so far it look Murano to me as well - is that brown adventurine between the canes.

Photos as requested by Glasstrufflehunter are need to aid positive identification.

You seem sure it is NOT Murano - why is that??

Best regards

Derek

Hello!
Excuse me all: that item is not a paperweight.
It is a pendant.
The "cane setting"  is on a oval piece of copper, so it is NOT goldaventurine.
I can`t give more pictures, because I am in hospital and this one are the only pictures which I have with me on the laptop.
Kind regards.

I couldn't tell you where the pendant was made, but whoever made it used Italian canes.

I did some copper enamel work ages ago. I used bits of glass and powdered glass and fired them into the copper in a kiln. Nothing so nice as what you have. They got the canes fused to the copper without ruining them. I can't say I could have done as well.  A very nice find.

Could these possibly be Effetre / Moretti millefiori canes, which can be purchased on the internet for jewellery making?   http://www.crloo.com/Products/Lampworking_Glass/Effetre/Effetre_5/effetre_5.html

I don`t believe so, because the item and the canes look like more then 50 years old.
