Magnum Murano Faceted Double Overlay Six Row Concentric Millefiori Paperweight. A wonderful Murano six row concentric millefiori paperweight with a double overlay of red and white glass. The concentric design is rounded so it is visible through the side facets as well as the top. This paperweight is faceted with one large top facet and five side facets. The bottom is ground flat and finished with a grid cut. Probably made in the 1960s by Fratelli Toso. Note : There is a faint 3/16 circular impact mark on the red overlay near the base and also a few faint scratches in the overlay. One of the pictures points out the impact mark with an arrow. Please Note: The stand shown in the pictures is not included with the paperweight. It is shown for illustration only. Note on white glare : Please ignore the white areas, they are glare from the light. This paperweight was made on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. Venetian glass making dates back centuries and the Venetians are given credit for the earliest millefiori canes and paperweights in 1840s. More recently, paperweight making was revived in the 1930s and again in the 1960s. Very Large Size : Just under 3 3/16″ diameter by 1 13/16″ high. The base ground flat and finished with a grid cut. This paperweight is faceted with one large top facet and five smaller side facets. Signature : Unsigned, but I guarantee that this paperweight is from the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. It was probably made in the 1960s by Fratelli Toso. Condition : Very good condition. There is a faint 3/16 circular impact mark on the red overlay near the base and also a few faint scratches in the overlay. No other chips or cracks were found on inspection.
