AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Refined set of 3 decorative paperweights handmade in Murano glass, characterized by rich compositions of millefiori murrine and by internal work that create evocative effects of depth, light and color.

Each paperweight presents a different decoration. The first, in cobalt blue tones, is enriched by white and light-blue murrine shaped like stars and small flowers. The second, the liveliest, combines orange, yellow, red, turquoise and white, with daisies and flowers with red hearts blooming along the edge. The third, in a bright turquoise blue, is crossed by delicate white and light-blue murrine.

In all three pieces the murrine radiate from the center outward, like the petals of a large flower opening. The low, rounded shape, together with the domed surface, acts as a natural lens, enlarging the interior designs and enhancing the brilliance of the colors. The decorations seem to float inside the glass, creating small floral universes to observe from different angles.

Elegant and versatile, they can be used as desk paperweights, small collectible objects, or as decorative elements for bookcases, coffee tables, display cases and refined environments. Perfect as a gift idea, even to share.

Each piece is handmade: slight variations in shape, size, colors and the arrangement of the murrine are to be considered part of the value and the uniqueness of Murano craftsmanship.
The paperweights are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, attesting their provenance and originality.

Indicative dimensions of each paperweight:

Diameter: about 5 cm
Height: about 2 cm

Set consisting of 3 pieces.

Shipping with professional, careful and secure packaging.

Seller's Story

Hi, I'm the founder of Bottega Isola. I was born and raised on Murano, and glass runs in my family: I grew up around the furnaces, surrounded by a craft my family has carried for generations. I've always been drawn to design and to handmade, one-of-a-kind objects, the kind that make memorable gifts for any occasion. Inspired by many cultures and design styles but rooted in my island's tradition, I create and select pieces that carry the history of Murano glass into today's homes and spaces. Nothing here is chosen at random. Most designs go through several trials before they're just right, and each one has to bring something to the space it lives in, whether that's purpose, character or atmosphere. Every piece is handmade on Murano by some of the island's most skilled glass masters, using techniques passed down for centuries. Each one comes with a certificate of authenticity and is carefully hand-packed in professional, glass-safe packaging, so it reaches you safely wherever you are.
