Title: Help with Wispy Honeycomb Murano? Weight. ID = Murano
Post by: AlmostThere on July 31, 2017, 05:05:22 PM

Hello, I was hoping for some help with a weight that is not like my other tight millifiori weights.  This weight has this wispy honeycomb pattern with little flowers and leaves in the center of each honeycomb.

The design is concave with a slightly irregular polished circle/pontil. 
Rough estimate of size is 2 3/4" diameter by 1 3/4" (7cm by 4.5cm) height.

Is the weight Murano? and is it modern or vintage? Doesn't really matter because I'm keeping this one.  I like flowers.

Thank You
Beth

Hi.

It is indeed a Murano paperweight, mid 20th century.

Thank You Alan.  I was getting tired of going through photos to find similar canes.
