Topic: Millifiori Paper weights

[petet63]

Hi,I bought 5 Paperweights at an Auction. I should have kept my hand down as I don't know enough. I suspected one to be a Perthshire and one as Murano. They all seem to have age wear to the base. I will list them separately.This first is the one I think is Pertshire is 8 x 5 cm. Any advice is appreciated, apart from stay away from Paperweights  I will be doing just that as a little knowledge is a dangerous and sometimes costly thing  Thanks.

Perthshire looks good, pre 1978 if fire polished base (rather than polished pontil mark), size would make it PP1 I think.
