FRATELLI TOSO

MULTI-FLOWER

FACETED GLASS

PAPERWEIGHT

MURANO ITALY

*******************

I’m selling my exceptional FRATELLI TOSO paperweight. This is a very large example. Weighs almost 4lbs (3lbs 15.9oz). It stands approximately 4.5” tall with a 14” circumference! It features 6 large trumpet flowers emerging from a gorgeous cobalt blue base filled with Bullicante (controlled bubbles). The globe has diamond shaped polished facets at the top leading down to pentagonal shaped facets and finally several rows of polished circles. This technique creates magnification and refraction of the flowers when seen from different angles. A real tour de force. Beautifully polished pontil. In wonderful vintage condition.
