I’m guessing at the age of this paperweight and also the maker, but I’ve seen others similar to this one and they’ve been created by Fratelli Toso studio in Murano. As to the age, I believe it’s from the 1950′s or 1960′s. Below the clear glass sits a deep dark green mound, so dark that it looks almost black. Irregularly spaced millefiori florets in different designs and colors are placed about the mound. The most vibrant colored floret is centered near the top. This paperweight is pre-owned and vintage and due to this fact does have a few small issues. There is one longer, faint scratch (about 1 long) on it that can be felt more than seen and a few barely perceptible tiny scratches. Of course there are the usual fine scratches on the flat bottom. I didn’t notice the scratches until I took it outdoors to take the photos in the bright light. There is also a slight dip in the glass which was during the creation process. The paperweight is approximately 2 1/4″ tall x approximately 2 3/4″ wide at its widest. Thank you for viewing this item, and please check out my other listings.
