This is a lovely vintage Italian Murano "field of flowers" paperweight.
There would have originally been a full paper maker's label on the base that would have helped me to identify the maker. There is now only a remnant of the original silver coloured label, as photographed. I know that it is a beautifully and skillfully made weight - and would hazard a confident attribution to Fratelli Toso.
The weight has a thin circular green glass base which is confined to the center of the weight - and does not reach out to the edge. The base is covered with a closepack carpet of tutti frutti millefiori canes that take the form of little daisy flower heads. There are also three long curling latticino red ribbons. The top layer of the ribbon is a red colour and the lower layer is white. They are placed at the edges and center of the floral carpet.
Dimensions: height of 2 1/2 inches and with a diameter of 3 inches. Unpacked it is 555 grams in weight.
The paperweight is in excellent condition with no damages. It is certainly a bit of a stunner and this is all reflected in my asking price. You won't be disappointed with it.
