About the Item

"Millefiori Glass Paperweight – Murano, Attributed To Fratelli Toso – Circa 1950–1970" Fratelli Toso Murano Millefiori Paperweight – Handcrafted, ca. 1950–1970 An exceptional mid-20th century Murano millefiori glass paperweight, attributed to the renowned Fratelli Toso workshop, Italy. This vibrant and meticulously crafted dome-form paperweight features an intricate, hand-laid mosaic of murrine canes in a rich palette of primary and secondary colors. The design radiates concentrically from a central floral rosette, with tight rows of sunburst, star, floral, and geometric cane slices, showcasing outstanding Venetian glass artistry. The surface reveals subtle textural relief, indicating a traditional millefiori technique where individual glass canes were fused and shaped by hand, not molded or machine-pressed. Origin: Murano, Italy Attribution: Fratelli Toso (based on cane pattern and construction) Date: ca. 1950–1970 Technique: Millefiori, hot-worked and hand-finished Material: Colored glass Diameter: 10 cm Height: 7.2 cm Condition: Excellent vintage condition; no cracks or chips. Light wear consistent with age. Base: Concave polished underside, unsigned (typical of Toso workshop pieces from this period) This piece exemplifies the distinctive style and high-quality cane work associated with Murano’s most respected millefiori producers. A beautiful addition for any collector of Italian art glass or 20th-century decorative arts.
