<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3978882, member: 8363"]The reseller gave me this millefiori paperweight with a large bubble as a parting gift. It is a standard 2 1/2 inch size. What surprised me was looking down from the top, the bubble creates an optical illusion of a tiny version of the weight within its confines. Research did not result in any real information except one exceptional example from the early 1900s. </p><p><a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/desk-accessories/paperweights/large-glass-millefiori-paperweight-suspended-domed-bubble-circa-1900/id-f_17929792/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/desk-accessories/paperweights/large-glass-millefiori-paperweight-suspended-domed-bubble-circa-1900/id-f_17929792/" rel="nofollow">Large Glass Millefiori Paperweight with Suspended Domed Bubble, circa 1900 For Sale at 1stDibs</a></p><p>Otherwise, just a your usual vintage, Moreno, etc. There are no marks or special canes that I can find.
