Title: Millifiori Paperweight.....1
Post by: petet63 on March 06, 2014, 12:27:13 PM

Hi, I tend to leave Paperweights alone after finding out it is a Minefield for making mistakes. I saw this and my first thought on this was Strathearn....? It is Approx 7.5cm at its widest and 7cm High. I thought Strathearn Close pack but am not sure after searching through them..  Hope you can help with this one and two more I have.

Fratelli Toso, typical canes for FT, nice weights and made in large numbers.

I really like Fratelli Toso weights. I have a fairly nice collection of them. They are definitely worthwhile to collect

I am allowed to collect some nice crystal  ;D I would fill the house if I didn't have this rule. 'Hoarder next door' would be filming me in less than a year !!. I do manage to display my finds for a while then I sell on. This piece is on display with my other weights but it is listed.
