Deerfield Lane

Description: Up for auction is a stunning example of mid-century Italian glasswork: a vintage Murano Millefiori paperweight. This exquisite piece features a dense, "carpet-style" internal landscape of hundreds of tiny, hand-stretched "Micro Daisy" canes. The intricate floral patterns are rendered in a vibrant palette of spring green, sunny yellow, and crisp porcelain white, all masterfully encased in high-clarity lead glass. The base shows the authentic shelf wear and characteristic concavity expected of a genuine hand-formed vintage piece. This is a quintessential collector's item for enthusiasts of Italian furnace glass, specifically those interested in the Millefiori techniques popularized by makers like Barovier & Toso. Its miniature scale and high level of detail make it a standout addition to any art glass collection. Condition Statement Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition Surface: The glass dome is remarkably clear with no major chips, cracks, or deep gouges. Only very minor, faint surface smudges consistent with age and careful handling. Internal: The Millefiori canes are exceptionally well-preserved with vibrant color and crisp definition. A few minute, pinhead-sized air bubbles (seeds) are present, which are characteristic of the hand-blown manufacturing process. There is also the black dot near the base which is present in each handblown glass item from this studio. Base: Features a polished pontil with moderate shelf wear/scratches consistent with a vintage item.
