This most unusual Italian paperweight is made from splattered coloured glass in pale green, yellow, blue, red, white and sparkling bronze over a clear glass centre.
It is further decorated with randomly placed fine millifiori canes in a variety of different colours.
One of the canes is dated in the glass 1852, which would make this paperweight a very rare early example.
The paperweight is possibly of this date, but more likely, in my opinion, dates to circa 1930 and was made on the island of Murano to feed the interest of early 20th-century collectors. Either way, a rare example.
Italian circa 1930
