Information please on Paperweight. ID = Murano
« on: February 25, 2016, 04:07:58 PM »
I have the below paperweight that I need information on.  It is 2.5 inches across and 2 inches high. It appears to have had a chip or other damage ground out of the bottom edge on one side.  It has a round etched stamp on the bottom but it is no longer legible.

I have attached three images.  Larger images can be found at https://goo.gl/photos/codvzqjXTzjDe5d47 .

Thanks.  Any information will be appreciated.

Hi. It is a Murano paperweight, mid - late 20th century.
