{"product_id":"vintage-murano-italy-blue-art-glass-paperweight-original-foil-label-ocean-blue-mottled-glass","title":"Vintage Murano Italy Blue Art Glass Paperweight – Original Foil Label – Ocean Blue Mottled Glass","description":"A wonderfully vibrant piece of vintage Italian art glass, this beautiful domed paperweight was made in Murano, Italy and remarkably retains its original red and gold “Made in Murano Italy” foil label to the base.\n\nThe paperweight features a gorgeous combination of brilliant turquoise, aqua and blue glass. At its centre is a rich blue circular formation, surrounded by a radiating mottled or web-like pattern which spreads towards the outer edge.\n\nThe thick clear glass dome magnifies the internal decoration beautifully, changing the appearance of the pattern as the piece is viewed from different angles and giving it a wonderful sense of depth.\n\nSmall bubbles and handmade irregularities can be seen within the glass, adding to the character of the piece and providing a lovely reminder of the traditional glassmaking process.\n\nIts rich aquatic colours make this particularly striking displayed where it can catch natural light — on a desk, windowsill, shelf or amongst a collection of vintage art glass.\n\nThe surviving original Murano foil label is an especially lovely feature and adds considerably to its appeal as a collectible piece of vintage Italian glass.\n\n*Details*\nItem: Vintage art glass paperweight\nOrigin: Murano, Italy\nLabel: Original “Made in Murano Italy” foil label present\nMaterial: Art glass\nColour: Turquoise \/ aqua \/ blue \/ clear\nDesign: Radiating mottled\/webbed internal decoration\nShape: Round domed paperweight\nEra: Vintage, likely mid-to-late 20th century\nDiameter: Approx. 8.5 cm \/ 3⅓ inches\n\n*Condition*\nGood vintage condition overall.\nThere are some surface scratches, small marks and signs of previous use, particularly to the underside\/base, which are commensurate with the age and use of the piece.\n\nSmall bubbles, specks and irregularities can also be seen within the glass. These appear consistent with the handmade nature of the piece rather than later damage and are part of its individual character.\n\nThe original foil label remains attached to the base and naturally shows some age-related wear and losses.\nI cannot see any significant chips or cracks from your photographs.\n\nPlease study all photographs carefully, including the close-up images, as they form an important part of the description and condition report.\n\n*A Note from FS Vintage Co.*\n\nAll of our items are genuine vintage or antique pieces and have been loved throughout their lifetime.
