Murano Colorful Glass Paperweight

Vibrant glass paperweight with red, blue, green, and yellow accents. Perfect for adding a splash of color to your desk. Murano glass paperweights are handcrafted on the Venetian island of Murano, Italy, by master glassmakers using centuries-old techniques. They are known for their exquisite beauty, intricate designs, and vibrant colors. Common techniques used in their creation include Murrina (also known as Millefiori), la filigrana, il reticello, and vetro sommerso. The history of Murano glass paperweights dates back thousands of years, with their origin potentially stemming from glassworkers fusing leftover colored glass scraps. These paperweights serve as both functional items to hold down papers and as decorative works of art.
