This Murano glass paperweight, dating from the 1960s, is crafted from highly transparent glass with a luminous, polished finish. Inside the rounded dome (height 3.5 cm, diameter 4.5 cm), a vibrant millefiori mosaic forms a floral composition, with dominant hues of yellow, red-orange, blue, and white. Each cane is shaped into a stylized flower, and the perfectly polished, flat base ensures stability on any desk surface. The workmanship is precise, with no visible seams or imperfections. Condition is very good: no chips, cracks, or surface wear, and the glass remains clear with sharp millefiori detailing.Within this compact form lies a story of Italian craftsmanship and the joyful aesthetic of the 1960s. The paperweight seems to evoke a time when Murano glassmakers combined traditional techniques with bold, modern color—each embedded cane reminiscent of a blooming meadow under Mediterranean skies. The clarity of the glass and the purity of the colors capture the ease with which Italians infused everyday objects with the spirit of small-scale artistry.The paperweight may be placed on a classic writing desk or home studio workspace, pairing well with wood and leather accessories as well as minimalist, contemporary interiors where it serves as a vibrant accent. Combined with other mid-century glass objects or vintage ceramics, it highlights a collector’s eye for detail. Positioning it in a well-lit spot will allow natural light to reveal the depth and color of the millefiori mosaic.No special care is required—simply wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the glass's luster and clarity.
