White Millefiori Paperweight – Vintage Murano Art Glass Design
This White Millefiori Paperweight displays five crisp concentric rows of white floral canes, each one captured in crystal-clear glass. As light moves through the dome, the pattern shimmers, creating a striking play of colour and depth. Because the design is so neatly arranged, it draws the eye immediately.
It measures about 7 cm high and 8 cm wide, so it feels solid without being heavy. The overall clarity and the fine workmanship strongly suggest production in Murano, Italy. Many collectors believe this style comes from Fratelli Toso, a well-known Murano studio famous for precise Millefiori work. Although unsigned, the design and technique make that attribution quite likely.
This White Millefiori Paperweight brings together colour, clarity, and craftsmanship, making it ideal for display or gifting.

Every part of this Murano Paperweight reflects quality. Because the floral canes sit in precise rings, the paperweight looks perfectly balanced from all sides. In addition, the clear glass allows plenty of light to reach the centre, so the white flowers seem to float inside.
Condition – Very Good Vintage Example
This White Millefiori Paperweight remains in very good vintage condition. The glass is smooth, bright, and clean, while the canes retain their fine definition. You may see a few light marks or tiny air bubbles, but these are normal for hand-made Murano glass.
Please take time to view all photographs before buying, as they show the exact paperweight for sale. Colours may vary slightly due to natural lighting, yet the images are always taken under real daylight for accuracy.
Because vintage items often show signs of age, this disclaimer applies: light wear, small air bubbles, or tool marks are completely normal and do not detract from the charm or collectability of the piece.
Why Collect a White Millefiori Paperweight
Collectors treasure the White Millefiori Paperweight because it combines centuries of glassmaking tradition with timeless beauty. The word Millefiori means “a thousand flowers” in Italian, and each flower in this design was made by carefully arranging coloured glass canes, cutting them into cross sections, and fusing them within clear glass.
Moreover, Murano artisans still use the same traditional techniques passed down for generations. Each finished piece becomes unique, and no two paperweights ever look identical. Therefore, this example would fit beautifully in any collection of Italian glass or mid-century décor.
