scrambled paperweight
« on: March 26, 2014, 01:28:38 PM »
Hello I recently bought this paperweight thinking it was Murano, but now I am not so sure. It measures about 5cm across and the colours are quite pale. Some of the canes appear almost translucent. The bottom is polished and is slightly concave. Does anybody have any ideas? Thankyou.

Hi. I do not think it is Murano. My first thought on attribution is antique American (NEGC or Boston & Sandwich), but there are others on this board who are better placed to comment on this possibility.

Thankyou for that information. I have posted another picture which may be of some help.
