I have a question about the Millefiori paperweight marble. Not being a handmade collector I know little about these. How can you tell if one is old or a newer version. Over the years I've seen a couple of them at auctions but stayed away because I did'nt know much about them.
Thanks

a real antique millefiori marble has the same pontil as an antique handmade marble. See picture:

It's pictures like these that could convince me to add handmade marbles to my collection! (although my wallet probably couldn't stand it. hehe)  Awesome examples! |
