Lot 272: Four 20th-century Murano style controlled bubble art glass paperweights
A group of four spherical art glass paperweights of varying designs, produced in the mid-to-late 20th-century. The collection includes one example with a mottled blue central core surrounded by a symmetrical pattern of controlled air bubbles using the bullicante technique. Another sphere contains large, irregular internal bubbles accented with pink and purple colour inclusions. A third paperweight features a green flower-form internal inclusion at the base, surrounded by small air bubbles. The largest item in the group is densely and uniformly filled with small, controlled air bubbles throughout the interior. Each piece is marked with an orange adhesive sticker bearing the lot number 272. No etched signatures or maker’s marks are present on the visible surfaces.
