Hi
I'm trying to find info about this paperweight and was hoping someone may recognise it please? It's two and half inches wide and just over one and quarter inches tall. There are no makers marks, labels or similar, but it has a lot of shelf wear to the base so I'm pretty sure it has some age - not a clue how much age though as I never got into this field of glass much at all. The base has a broken and rough pontil mark. Thanks Chriss :)

Hi. The general style suggests Murano, as does the spatter ground and flat base. The central crude 'rose' cane and the cellular outer ones are also consistent with Murano from the early-mid 20th century. But it looks to be a very untidy example.
