Art glass Venetian complex scramble domed paperweight attributed to Pietro Bigaglia. Bigaglia is credited with making the first paperweights with twist & latticino, making this a significant example. There is no apparent signature… This paperweight was acquired from the Eli Lilly estate on Cape Cod.. It measures 7″ in circumference, about 2″ wide measurement is taken from the bottom of the paperweight and about 1.5 tall…. Under examination with a magnifying glass I see some small scratches… I see no nicks, chipping or pitting.. Please view photos before making an offer.
