Title: Millefiori paperweight. ID = Silesia or Thuringia
Post by: born slippy on April 27, 2016, 10:55:29 PM

Please can you help id the maker or country or time-line, or anything about my millefiori paperweight, the central cane seems to be missing a few tiny flowers. A tad under 3" diameter. Has a couple of nasty chips but I still like it. Thank you.

I am not sure about this one. Looks like an interesting "spotted" cane in the base section.

Probably Silesia (Germany) from around 1900.

I agree with Allan in respect of Germany, but suggest it may be from Lauscha - ie Thuringia rather than Silesia. That said, the two areas produced very similar paperweights!
