Hi, What if anything is the meaning/significance of the 1848 cane? In looking around on-line, I can see that neither the paperweight nor the cane itself are like the really nice paperweights with 1848 canes. I saw one similar to mine described as a Murano paperweight with a spurious 1848 cane. Is that correct, and is there any market for these, are they collected? Also I saw some similar items described as scrambled millefiori. Would that be an accurate description of this paperweight?
Thank you very much for any thoughts. I appreciate the help I've received on this board.
