Faceted Millefiori weight. Anything interesting?

I found this lovely weight recently and haven't managed to pin down a maker by myself (though that might have something to do with moving house and not having much time to look). I was wondering if anyone here could point me in any helpful directions

Hi Cat,
Murano, probably mid 20th century. Possibly Fratelli Toso.
With the faceting and the well set cane layer, and "relaxed" colour palette, it is a Murano weight that, for once, I quite like the look of.

Hi Kevin, how ya doing. Hope life is treating you well
Thanks for confirming my suspicions. The canes had me thinking it was likely Murano.... but I don't always trust my judgement on Paperweights lol.

It is not easy to pin down specific manufacturers in Murano, but this could be a Galliano Ferro piece like my butterfly below.
