Hi. Although lots of paperweights made in China have been sold in Murano / Burano as 'Murano', I think this one may be from a different source, quite possibly Murano. However, I have been told that some 'Murano' paperweights sold by a well known 'Murano' maker (whose offices are based in mainland Italy rather than on Murano) are actually made in Morocco, using Murano canes. I cannot confirm this...but does it matter, anyway? Murano glass is made for the tourist trade, wherever the factory is located....
I fear the waters are a bit murky...
