Title: Big & small? ID = Murano - Fratelli Toso
Post by: ttttootall on February 11, 2013, 02:52:37 PM

I believe these are murano...the question is were they meant to be a pair/set?

Also can they be pinned down to a particular maker and year?

Funnily enough just been browsing ebay and saw this listing
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOSO-Murano-MILLEFIORI-FLOWERS-ZANFIRICO-RIBBONS-AVENTURINE-Paperweight-VINTAGE-/130834066679?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e76516cf7 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOSO-Murano-MILLEFIORI-FLOWERS-ZANFIRICO-RIBBONS-AVENTURINE-Paperweight-VINTAGE-/130834066679?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e76516cf7)
Apparently this virtually identical weight is listed in the Fratelli Toso book.

Great... I believe that is the smaller one.

Thanks Nick,
