This is a “Used” paperweight, meaning that it has been previously owned. It is smooth, unchipped, no cracks, like new. This is made by Robert W. Stephens whose work is more than well-known. This is iconic, clear glass with dichroic ribbons throughout it. His signature and the date it was made are on the base. There are no use chips, no cracking, the paperweight is as perfect as it was when it left Stephens’ studio. The metallic glint in the dichroic glass design is stunning! I have looked at other pieces of his work and they are beautiful!

Comments Off
Beautiful vintage 1950′s 60′s Venetian Murano glass paperweight on pedestal. The glass ball is attached to the base and was made as such. Colors are gorgeous with Latticino. Ribbons on the sides and millefiori on the top. Clear glass base with original label still attached which reads, “Genuine Venetian Glass A Decora Made in Italy Import From Murano”. Measures approximately 6 1/2 inches in height with a base diameter of 4 1/2 inches. Very good vintage condition with no chips, no cracks and no repairs. One tiny air bubble and a dark tiny spot all from the making. Some extremely fine scratches on the bottom mostly since in certain light angle. I would rate this piece a 9.9 on a scale of 1-10. Note on condition, to the best of my ability flaws will be described in as much detail as possible but please be aware that if the item is vintage or antique it has age wear and in most cases is not in “mint” condition.
