Title: Murano Paperweights and Labels Age??
Post by: Beth on October 22, 2007, 07:46:50 PM

Hello, I am new to this site and I may have posted my posts in the wrong place, I posted in Murano Glass Society. Here are some pics of the paperweights, 2 of them have labels and 1 does not. I found these paperweights at an Estate sale for Ada Belle Spencer(she was an opera singer). I would like to find out maker and age. Thank you! Here goes(fingers crossed)

This one has no label and it has dimples
and no gold like the others.

I have seen that rooster label on stuff that I knew was Seguso. The first two weights have cane clusters like some Seguso weights that I have. I have a weight with the identical canes as the red one. Fratelli Toso makes canes that are very similar but theirs tend to be more precise.

The last paperweight is a mystery to me.

My guess on age would be perhaps 50s but I am not certain. I think the rooster is an older label.

You may like to consider adding the photo of your "Rooster" label to the set of Murano labels recorded at:

Yours has subtle differences to the one shown at:
