Hi woodie

I think that every one of the paperweights you have listed for ID is (very) modern Chinese.  If you search on alibaba you can find various suppliers.  I have put a link to one below so you can see the sort of thing - you'll note they even call it Murano glass (and some does find its way to Murano, of course...). If you take 300 pieces they tend to cost about US 1.00 (ie 60p) each plus shipping.
