Title: Cubb's small millefiori paperweight
Post by: cubby01 on June 16, 2010, 10:44:53 PM

My wife picked this up for me.  It's just over 1.5" in diameter.  Any clues to it's origins?  Thanks all for answers.

The ground looks like the type used in many Fratelli Toso weights. It's almost like a crepe. I call it moon surface -- not an official term, but for lack of a better description.

Thanks Anita, Toso was what I thought when I saw that 'ground' as well.  I just didn't/don't know it it was common to many makers.
