Murano?
« on: March 06, 2014, 09:18:11 PM »
Found this in a charity shop today and it struck me as possibly Murano, it has a nice polished pontil. Any ideas or have I bought a modern Chinese weight? Measures 7.5cm across and 7cm in height.

Thanks

Roy

Looks like Fratelli Toso to me.
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.

I like those flower canes - simple but effective.

More in this weight.
