Buyer's Premium:

A collection of art glass comprising two millefiori paperweights and seven 3D laser-etched crystal blocks. The millefiori paperweights include one example featuring concentric rows of red and white floral canes set against a deep cobalt blue ground, and a second featuring a dense arrangement of red, white, and green floral canes. Both paperweights are designed in the Murano style. The group of clear crystal rectangular blocks each contain a three-dimensional sub-surface laser-etched image depicting various wildlife subjects, including a cheetah, a family of elephants, an eagle in flight, a dog, a lizard, a squirrel, and a butterfly. Five of the crystal blocks are housed in blue, satin-lined presentation boxes, while two blocks are loose.
