As you will see, there is some internal fractures on backside of glass as shown in pictures. There is no evidence of it ever being dropped. There is no chipping , no outside cracks or fissures. I believe internal fracture is from the cooling off process from when the glass was blown.
Although it does have this imperfection , it is still a very beautiful piece and would be a great addition to anybody's collection. A beautiful, extra large, vintage Murano hand blown Sommerso scrambled Millefiori flower canes Italian art glass paperweight. The piece has a very abstract design, with hundreds of flower murrines mixed into the paperweight.
There are full large flower murrines, as well as micro mosaic flower canes within it. The background color is very dark on the paperweight, which is also unusual. It has all the colors of the rainbow in the flowers, red, orange, white, yellow, green, blue (dark, sky and teal), black. In the style of the Avem, Aureliano Toso, and Fratelli Toso companies. Would make a great display piece on any desk or coffee table. Measures: 5 1/4" wide x 3 1/2" high.
