Murano signature identification

Hoping someone might be able to identify this paperweight with worn Murano label and initialed "TN", numbered 1/2. Any help is appreciated!

The canes were made by Fratelli Toso, can't help with the engraving sorry. FT sold canes to other glass makers as well as making their own paperweights, a profile photo showing the shape of the dome can sometimes be useful.

The Fratelli Toso label is shown in this link. I wonder if the TN 1/2 mark was put on by a previous owner.
