Unsigned, Murano style, mid- to late-20th century.

This vintage millefiori art glass paperweight features a densely packed field of multicolored floral and starburst canes arranged beneath a clear glass dome. The vibrant palette includes cobalt blue, emerald green, amber, rose, ivory, and soft pastels, creating exceptional depth and visual movement.

Millefiori, Italian for “a thousand flowers,” is a traditional glassmaking technique in which patterned glass canes are individually crafted, sliced, and fused together. The tight canework and rich color variation in this piece reflect skilled workmanship consistent with Murano-style Italian art glass production.

The paperweight has a pleasing weight and smooth dome form, making it both a functional desk object and a sculptural decorative accent. While unsigned, the quality and complexity suggest mid- to late-20th-century Italian origin. See less
