Murano Millefiori Butterfly Paperweight Yellow Peacock Eye Art Glass MCM Italy
This exquisite Mid-Century Modern paperweight is a masterclass in Italian millefiori (thousand flowers) technique. Set against a rare, vibrant lemon-yellow opaque ground, the piece features a meticulously arranged fan of \"Peacock Eye\" murrines. Each cane displays concentric rings of deep crimson, emerald green, and cobalt blue, surrounding a central butterfly-styled motif with delicate blue-and-white striped wing detailing.
Hand-blown in the furnaces of Murano, Italy, during the 1960s–70s, this piece exemplifies the \"frit and cane\" artistry of the era. The heavy, high-clarity lead glass dome provides a natural magnification of the internal patterns, creating a stunning 360-degree visual depth. A premier find for enthusiasts of MCM Italian glass or paperweight collectors seeking bold, high-contrast colorways.
