      I would think closer to 1970 if not 75. Millifiori glass was still elaborate in the 1960's all the coils very close together. This has a lot of clear space between the coils and light going through it would make it a poor millifiori piece. They especially used it in the 70's to 1980's. I have very few, because I knew they made exquisite pieces in the 1960's so I only bought one that was this new.

      That Millefiori 100% was in world war 2.. it was found buried in the ground in big box.

      phil did an good job about the quality i agree

      i run this on sfaccettato of course ( for the faceted design) , but is was inconclusive, so i don,t know

      Apostata i understand and thank you for those comments but i do believe my grandma, she is 81 years old...and she told me with all details where her dad find that box... That Millefiori 100 is from world war 2.

      i don,t refute your thesis actually i am slightly in favor of your pointof view, so i ran the design with mega databanks , because i think that,s the right way, i always try to work by means of evidence and probability, that,s all
