Title: Small flower paperweight
Post by: yesvil on May 14, 2010, 11:23:23 AM

It stands about 60mm tall and 50mm wide.

Help please! - I don't think this one is Chinese... is it?

Hi there.

Nice pretty weight.

I have one similar, labelled Murano.   But I suspect it was made in China, label applied in Italy!

I have always thought if these as Murano, they seem to be much higher quality than most Chinese fare and the
canes used are usually fairly good Muranese canes. The baeses are usually flat and polished, like most Murano weights.

There is a weight like this currently on eBay, 380233729210, with a KB sticker.
