Complex domed millefiori paperweight for ID please
« on: August 15, 2022, 04:06:09 PM »
I don't know where to start to identify the maker of this PW. The canes are pretty complex, and arranged on a domed pad. I can't see any signature canes. It measures 8 cm across and 5 cm high. The base is ground flat but not entirely circular. There are fair number of small bubbles on the upper side of the weight.

These paperweights are a minefield for me and I don't know if this is a good one or a run-of-the-mill one. But somehow it seems a bit better than average.

Any help is appreciated.

Anton

Chinese of recent vintage (1990 or later).

Thanks. I thought recent since there are no scratches on the base. Still quite decorative.
