Title: Murano Paperweight ?
Post by: Krecik on October 09, 2015, 12:03:54 PM

 Good morning,

  Another recent purchase that I believe is Murano? It is very well made but I have not seen this style in the past?


Thanks ,

John

Hi John,

Yes, this is definitely Murano and from the canes and the general set up I believe this paperweight was made by Galliano Ferro when they produced paperweights (which they have not done for a long while now). So it is mid to second part of 20th century.

Good afternoon ,

  Thanks ,  I just looked at a  Galliano Ferro Butterfly that I have and the canes are very similar.  It is just a much better quality and look than  most of the Murano Paperweights I see.


Thanks,

John
