Title: Victorian - not!
Post by: tropdevin on February 16, 2009, 04:26:30 PM

I have told the seller of this paperweight (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335820906&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=270345462187&item=270345462187) that it is 20th Century Murano, but nothing has changed as yet.

It's probably in a "fury" about those minor nicks  ;D

Definitely low quality, late-20th century millefiori. One of the minor companies does this type millefiori, but I can't recall who it is right now. The canes are so thin that they look almost like decals stuck on the glass. They will probably be worth a lot of money in a century, though. :spls:
