    I'm just wandering if this might be Murano. It's about 2 1/4" across and has this really neat sparkly base . I tried researching it but can't find any like it. Thanks for any help.

      I don't think it's Murano, for a number of reasons.
      The canes are too loosely packed, they are not a uniform size, there are too few of them and the gaps are too big. I have also not seen a Murano weight with that combination of canes and metal.

      Hi and Thank You, I've actually seen a few with the separated flowers and cane filling in the rest and with the goldstone aventurine base. I was just curious about the flowers on the edge with only the one having a different flower pattern with the red x and green surrounding it and having 12 smaller petals instead of 6 like the others. Thanks for the help.
