Gorgeous Whitefriars Faceted, Millefiori Paperweight from the Early 20th Century
Absolutely beautiful, Whitefriars faceted, millefiori paperweight.
Circa 1940 and measures 3" in diameter.
This paperweight features stunning rows of red, white and blue millefiori canes. Has a factory polished pontil mark. The exterior is featuring 5 and 1 facets. 1 large facet on top and 5 smaller facets on the side. There is not a signature cane; however, they did use paper labels, so it very well could have fallen off from cleaning, etc.
It is in beautiful condition with normal shelf wear. On a couple of the side facets, one has a minute nick, and the other is a little bigger, but hard to notice. I did not notice it at first, just barely caught it. There is also a minor manufacturing imperfection to the pontil mark, as made. it is absolutely beautiful to see in person.
This piece would look gorgeous in any setting. Would be a great addition for any Whitefriars or paperweight collector.
