AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant hand-made Murano glass desk clip featuring a rich composition of floral murrine in deep blue and white tones, enclosed within transparent glass.

The decoration develops radially from the center, creating a pattern resembling a large flower opening. The blue and white submerged murrine extend outward, ending in numerous floral and star motifs distributed around the entire circumference of the paperweight. The alternation between deep blue, white, and the glass transparency produces an elegant color contrast and a suggestive sense of movement.

The rounded shape and the bulging, transparent top act as a natural lens, amplifying the internal decoration and showcasing its depth. When viewed from above or from the side, the pattern changes perspective and progressively reveals the details of the murrine and glasswork.

Thanks to its larger size compared with smaller-format paperweights, this specimen has a particularly evident decorative presence. It can be used as a desk paperweight, a collectible item, or as an ornamental element for bookshelves, coffee tables, display cabinets, and refined environments.

The piece has been handcrafted: slight variations, small bubbles, and internal irregularities are characteristic features of manual workmanship and contribute to the uniqueness of the work.

The paperweight is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity attesting to its provenance and originality.

Height: 4 cm
