This Murano glass paperweight, dating from the early 20th century, exemplifies the artistry of Italian glassmaking. The classic dome measures 6 cm in height and 9.5 cm in diameter, crafted from transparent crystal glass. Inside, a vibrant millefiori composition unfolds: cool, saturated blues form undulating, layered bands, accented by subtle touches of green, white, and dark blue. Round, yellow-green millefiori medallions are suspended within the glass, each containing miniature floral motifs in red, white, and blue. The top is highly polished and glossy, highlighting the depth of the composition, while the precisely ground flat base ensures stability. The paperweight is preserved in very good condition, with a smooth, lustrous surface free from scratches or chips.Though modest in scale, this paperweight seems to narrate the story of early 20th-century Italian imagination and decorative creativity. The millefiori technique—celebrating color and detail—evokes a garden preserved under glass, where flowers never fade and the blue waves recall the Murano lagoon. Each shade and motif whispers of an era that valued both functionality and refined ornamentation. The object quietly carries the memory of a time when even everyday items were vessels of artistry.It could be paired with dark wood or chrome desk accessories to emphasize its decorative qualities. The paperweight would work well as an accent on a desk in a classic or eclectic study, where its glass surface
