Picked this lovely paperweight up the other day.
Paperweights aren't really something I'm into but liked the way this looked.
Does anyone have an idea of age or origin?
Completely flat base - measures 9cm in diameter and 7cm tall.
Any thoughts welcome  ;D

Your paperweight is from the island of Murano in Venice, Italy and dates from about 1970.
