An unusual, oversized Murano glass paperweight by AVEM (Arte Vetraria Muranese), dating to the 1960s. Distinguished by its exceptionally large diameter and flattened lenticular form, this striking example combines intricate glassmaking techniques with an exuberant, abstract composition of colour and texture. The densely layered interior features a scrambled arrangement of fine white latticino and zanfirico filigree, twisted glass ribbons, murrine and shimmering copper aventurine. Vibrant shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, pink, orange, yellow and green intertwine with delicate white threads, creating an intricate, almost weightless composition. The decoration is entirely encased in exceptionally clear glass with a subtle cool-grey tint, lending remarkable depth and optical clarity. Very good vintage condition, with no chips or damage. Dimensions: Diameter 12.5 cm (4.92 in); height 3.5 cm (1.38 in). This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
