Title: Covering all the bases

The seller of this closepack paperweight (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574631383&toolid=10001&campid=5336261829&customid=&icep_item=290548720899&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) has certainly tried to cover the main antique French makers in his description.  But is it not mid 20th C Murano?

  Mid twentieth century Murano seems good to me. The white petaled,yellow middle flowers I have seen before in two of my previous weights and I have classed them as Murano especially with the cogy canes all around although this weight is above the normal with the faceting. Regards Roger H.
