The Chinese lampwork creatures, usually set above the main elements of the design, are of very acceptable quality and some are much better than others. I think they certainly have the ability to make the "eagle" in the weight discussed - but I don't know for sure that the weight is, or is not, Chinese.

If the Chinese craftsman have been able or are now able to make such lampwork, I will declare: it is near to willi manson and absolutely collectable!

Oh I agree!

Their newest millefiori is very nice too I've bought 5 in the last year and a half.
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.
