Description

Vintage Millefiori & Ribbon-Burst Art Glass Paperweight Pair

Offered here is a charming pair of vintage art-glass paperweights, each showcasing a different traditional mid-century decorative technique. The smaller piece features tightly packed millefiori canes in vivid reds, yellows, blues, and greens, arranged around white floral motifs and latticinio twists. The base displays a coppery mottled ground typical of mid-century studio work. The larger example presents a lively ribbon-burst internal design, with multicolored pulled spires rising organically within the clear dome.

Both paperweights display strong coloration and classic furnace-glass craftsmanship, making them appealing additions to any shelf or desk display, or to a growing collection of vintage glass.

CONDITION

Good overall condition with expected shelf wear. Both pieces show small flea bites on the bottom, and light surface wear consistent with age and handling. No cracks or structural damage noted. Please review photos for close-up details.
