oldmarblenut Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Someday I'm sure I will try them in a paperweight, have to do a small one first to test compatibility. I love Popeyes too! the handmades were in the jar of milli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmarblenut Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Trying to ID the milli I found these vases on Ebay item # 291112928814 same canes! LOL Looks like I'll be making a couple modern antique Murano millefiori cane paperweights someday LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Cane pieces look like 104 glass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmarblenut Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 hard to say B, looking at the vintage Murano weights and vases with those canes in them I am hoping to get lucky. I'll do a small one with about a dozen canes as a test first. I have been using SP-87 w/ Erbium. the yellows seem similar to #77 and #78 also the lapis blue seems dead on in color.

mmuehlba Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just think Ro makes his own I think . Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmarblenut Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yes Ro makes his own using Kugler and Reichenbach rod, helped him make some at Wheaton a few years ago. I checked the Murano website and found the cane I have may be special mix millefiori 104, I'll still give it a try as I've found the SP-87 W/ER coe 96 has a bit of flexibility, I've used bullseye aventurine with a coe of 87-89 without failure so I will cross my fingers.
