I'llhavethat1 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Millefiori has been made for a LONG time so hard to say. I think it's pretty neat. Is the base glass translucent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Nice! The patterns feign the reflection of light fixtures, looking at the photos. Must be even more awesome in real life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yeah, I don't know. I wonder if one of our contemporary collectors might recognize it as an early contemp ... or might recognize it as a much earlier handmade.@Alan, does it ring bells with you?

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hey Steph, no worries, just getting to this now and I'm a bit confused where you thought I might have been slighted? Alan probably knows a lot more about these than I do, so it's a good thing you tagged him. It's a community and if we can all help each other out that's a positive thing, right?

akronmarbles Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 It is from India - the glass canes are typical of Indian made products from that time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks, Brian. Nice to hear from you. What is that time period? thanks, DanS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 No prob Dan....Could be 80's or 90's - they are still making glass that looks similar to this. Their skill set has just about caught up with the Italians on cane making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
