Barbini Murano Red Blue Gold Flecks Italian Art Glass Bubble Design Paperweights

About the Item

Priced Per Item (3 different colors available). Beautiful vintage Murano hand blown red, blue and gold Italian art glass paperweights with bubble decoration. Documented to designer Alfredo Barbini. I have previously owned several with the "Weil Ceramics & Glass" labels. The red and blue paperweights are made with thousands of small pigment dots creating the overall color. The 3rd paperweight is just filled with a gold leaf layer. All three are profusely covered in gold leaf, and specially stands out in the blue paperweight, having an inner iridescent surface interacting with the gold. The red paperweight still retains an original "N. W407 Made In Italy" item number label, documented to Barbini. Would make a great display piece on any desk, vanity or coffee table. Showcase them as decorative items in any room. Late Mid-century era. They measure about 3" wide x 2 3/4" tall.
