About the Item

Priced per item (3 different designs available). Beautiful vintage Murano hand blown Italian art glass paperweights. They are documented to Fratelli Toso company and one to designer Alfredo Barbini. The 1st (top right) paperweight on the main image is a scrambled paperweight, in magenta pink cut canes, with scattered aqua, cobalt, white and dark red canes. This one is documented to designer Alfredo Barbini for Weil Ceramics and Glass (I have had others with his label). The 2nd (middle left) paperweight has large cut canes in pink, white and green centers. They are all placed together to form a larger flower design. The base has white and pink spots. The 3rd (bottom) paperweight has an outer circle of white and blue flowers, lined with dark purple, white and blue flowers. The middle has a white, pink spots and green center flower. The base is made with tiny pink and white spots. This one has an import gallery label (worn) on the side. Any of them would make a great display piece on a desk, vanity or coffee table. Late Mid-century era. They measure 3" wide x 2 3/4" tall. Literature: Fratelli Toso, Italian Glass 1854 - 1980, by Leslie Piña. Illustrates the labels.
