Murano Mid 20th Century
All the colors caught my eye's....just beautiful!
Center has seven millefiori cane flowers- which in the center of one of them is an "X" where as the rest of them have an open center. Not sure if this means anything but just thought I would point that out.
Some info I found online;
Crown weight- paperweight with alternating lengths of vertically twisted colored ribbons and filigree extending from the base to the top of the dome, capped with a millefiori cane
I found this and another at the GW yesterday.
I would say Murano, and Super Find.
See if I can get some more info -- just working in the yard here. SPRING!!
The white "lace" bands are called "latticini", this may perhaps help :-)
Lovely!
Here is mine, much the same:
