Large Murano Paperweight
« on: April 15, 2013, 01:34:05 PM »
Just bought. This large and heavy weight 4 inches diameter, 3 inches high. Lovely canes and lots of aventurine. Wondered if anyone can identify a maker. Looks 1950/60 in date.

Thanks Adam

Hi Adam.  The pink canes look like Fratelli Toso, but some factories bought canes from others, which can confuse the position.

My first thought was Fratelli Toso also.
