VTG Murano Glass Paperweight Silver Spiral w/Blue Gold Fleck Base 4.75” Art

For sale is a stunning vintage Murano glass paperweight, handcrafted with exquisite detail. This piece features a clear, egg-shaped glass body encasing a striking clear spiral that twists upward, symbolizing natural forms like DNA or shells. The base showcases a rich blue glass with shimmering gold flecks, mimicking lapis lazuli with pyrite inclusions, achieved through traditional avventurina and sommerso techniques. Measuring approximately 4.75 inches tall, this unsigned artisanal work likely dates to the mid-20th century, reflecting the craftsmanship of Murano glassmakers such as Barovier & Toso or Cenedese. The smooth exterior and internal bubbles are hallmarks of hand-blown glass, adding to its unique charm. Condition is excellent with no visible external damage. Perfect for collectors or as a decorative accent. Store away from direct sunlight to preserve colors.
