ABOUT PRODUCTID 11652
This 1950s Murano paperweight exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and pursuit of pure form characteristic of mid-century modern glassmaking. The hand-blown, perfectly spherical body is made from highly transparent glass with a delicate yellowish tint. Inside, a spiraling motif encircles a softly diffused pink central ring, while fine gold leaf fragments are suspended at the base, catching and reflecting the light. The surface is flawlessly smooth and glossy, with no visible seams or joints, and tiny air bubbles within the glass attest to its artisanal origin. The paperweight is preserved in very good condition, free from chips or cracks, with the original brilliance of the glass and the clarity of the colored accents fully intact.This compact object carries the voice of 1950s Italian modernism—reflecting the era’s search for harmony between everyday function and artistic value. The spiral motion and embedded gold evoke the light of the Venetian lagoon, while the gentle pink ring hints at the imaginative spirit of Murano artisans. Every glimmer across the surface tells a story of patient craft, where tradition meets modernity and simplicity is balanced with subtle ornamentation.The paperweight can be placed on a walnut desk or a 1950s console, serving as a discreet yet distinctive accent. It pairs well with other collectible glass objects, against matte surfaces, or among textiles in calm hues. Interiors styled in mid-century modern or eclectic spaces with a touch of Italian design will allow its form and understated details to resonate.
