Topic: Millifiori Paperweight...2

The canes look like Fratelli Toso. I am reasonably certain that paperweight is by FT.

Here's some close ups. The pair were bought together so could be the same maker. (I know that's not scientific evidence  ). Pic 3 is from underneath.

As Alan has said, this is a 100% Murano weight.

And as glasstrufflehunter has said, it is probably Fratelli Toso.

Fratelli Toso are well known for using "very coggy" canes (but probably not the only company to use them) and also for aventurine or "coloured chip" grounds.

Some people may have been thrown off a little by Peter's initial photos, which are compressed vertically and show the weight as an oval shape rather the the circular / rounded form it actually is.

Ah, now the dome profile looks like Murano.

I didn't spot the squeezed  photo. It happens when cropping it too close. Sorry for the confusion. I will keep an eye on the pictures. Thanks for all the help. I do try different searches which ever way the responses go and I get very distracted by some stunning paperweights. It's still an area I find very difficult as it is such a big subject. Thanks again.
