Looks like Murano to me.

I agree - Murano. But the middle picture suggests an Australian influence. :lol: Alan.

Thank you very much..Does it have a name? This one has a diameter of approximately 10 inches. It has a nice heavy weight to it. Does anyone have an idea of when it was made?

Do you mean cm, not inches? :shock:

Well now..in centimeters it is 25 centimeters around.

A nice Murano (Venice, Italy) with different millefiori coloring than usually found. Probably made in the 1970s.

I have a weight by La Fenice that has large neat canes, high dome and frit ground like that. I find it particularly nice because there is very little cane distortion unlike some other examples of Murano weights. I can't be positive but yours could be by the same maker.
