Topic: Help please to ID a paperweight

[caspurr]

Can anyone help me with ID which (I assume Murano) company is likely to have made this paperweight?  Many thanx.

Looks a lot like a Fratelli Toso I have.

FT used a green ground for a lot of their designs.

Many thanks.  My friend thought it was Toso but suggested I get 'another opinion'.

Here's my FLICKR photos.  Hope you like...

Dee,

What a wonderful collection! I see some weights that I also have.
You should make your flickr photos part of your signature so that we all can peruse them from time to time

Archimede Seguso also did paperweights that were a lot like this. My first impulse was Seguso. Glasstrufflehunter, does your paperweight have a label? If so, I'll have to shift my ideas on who does these paperweights.

 :hiclp: :hiclp: :hiclp: They're lovely Dee - I'm quite green, although I don't think I spotted any of my minute Scottish PW collection there  

Wuff and Frank would probably welcome photos of many of those Scottish ones for www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/ to replace or supplement some of the catalogue scans

Okay, I surrender to admitting that when it comes to 'technical' issues I'm useless.  How do I put my flickr address as part of my signature?   :huh:

TxSilver:

Mine does not have a label but I have seen one identical to it that did.

Dee,

I see that your Flickr photos are part of your signature now so either I over looked it before or you figured out how to place it there

[caspurr]

The answer to that is either "girls can do anything" or "what a fluke" .  I even surprised myself  :hiclp:

On the subject of Flickr I'm a bit behind with my photography.  Something to do in the weekend perhaps?
