Vintage Fratelli Toso Murano Glass Paperweight Ribbon Twist Design
Murano Glass Paperweight with Ribbon Twist Design, Attributed to Fratelli Toso
A vibrant and captivating vintage Murano glass paperweight, attributed to the celebrated Venetian glassmakers Fratelli Toso, and dating to the 1960s. Featuring a mesmerizing psychedelic ribbon twist design in bold, swirling colors, this wonderful piece of mid-century art glass brings an immediate pop of color and sculptural energy to any surface it graces.
Fratelli Toso was one of Murano's most distinguished glass houses, renowned for their mastery of color and their innovative approach to traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques. Their ribbon twist and millefiori works from this period are particularly sought after by collectors of Italian art glass.
Compact and beautifully weighted, this paperweight is equally at home on a desk, bookshelf, or display cabinet — a small but striking object that rewards close inspection and catches the light beautifully from every angle.
