Murano Paperweights for Sale

The paperweights on this page were made on the Island of Murano in Venice, Italy. Most were made between 1960 and 2000.

Venetian glass making dates back centuries and the Venetians are given credit for the earliest millefiori canes and paperweights in 1840s. More recently, paperweight making was revived in the 1930s and again in the 1960s.

1587 Murano Magnum Pedestal Millefiori Crown. c.1930-1960. Wonderful example of a Murano pedestal crown paperweight with millefiori canes on top. The crown is formed from 24 alternating strands of white and blue twists. The blue twists have gold edges to add sparkle. There are about two dozen millefiori canes on top. An outstanding paperweight for any collector of paperweights or Murano glass.
Crown weights are considered by some to be the most exciting of all millefiori designs. They are extremely difficult to make. Pedestal crowns are the most desirable.
Very Large Size: 3 5/8" diameter by 5 3/8" high.
Excellent condition with no chips or cracks. This was probably made in the 1960s, but may have been made earlier in the 20th century.
$250 postage paid in the US.
