Bring the brilliance and quality of Italian craftsmanship into your home with this exceptional Vintage Mid-Century Modern Art Glass Paperweight! This beautiful piece, made in Italy, embodies the sophisticated simplicity of 1960s design.
The paperweight is crafted using the highly sought-after controlled bubble technique (a bollicine), where delicate air pockets are intentionally suspended within the clear, heavy glass. The result is a mesmerizing internal structure that beautifully reflects light from every angle.
While this piece remains unmarked (common for smaller items exported during the period), the technique, quality, and origin are strongly associated with the design spirit of Murano Glassworks and other Italian artisans of the era.
Provenance Note: This piece carries a wonderful story, having been personally discovered at a flea market in Milan, Italy, in 1998, confirming its long vintage history and connection to Italian culture.
Condition: This paperweight is in excellent vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or significant scratches. The glass is clear, brilliant, and ready for immediate display.
