I'm aware that 2 of mine are Chinese, but they're pretty anyway. I'm not a collector. On the other hand, I bought a real Murano at a garage sale for a ridiculously low price because the owner didn't know what she had.

Nice, thank you!

that Chinese base is not OPAQUE, it is TRANSLUCENT. Something opaque permits no light to pass through. Using the wrong word is misleading. Translucent means just what you see...light can pass through. That is what that word means...the transfer of light. But it is not transparent, which means you can see everthing; all the details are seen, just as if the glass was not there, like a window. But translucent means light comes through but you cannot really see what is there, like a bathroom window, frosted or textured. You cannot see clearly what is on the other side.

Thank you.

Great video! Thank you! I love them all regardless of their origin. 😂❤

Even though they’re Chinese they’re still real glass blown piece of art aren’t they?

Thank you, learned so much.

😊

Very informative video thank you. In my mind the Chinese millefiori looks watery.

Intro 10/10... Im here to feed your paperweight addiction liked and subscribed 😂, i often que up these videos to get inspiration for ideas that one day to execute on, very nice pieces have a wonderful day.

Great collection. Thank you for the video 🧡🧡

Thanks for this😊. Its helped me identify some I have which I now believe to be Murano

Excellent! I learned so much. Great examples and explanations. Thank you.

Another factor for value of a paperweight is artistry. It is a very difficult factor to measure. This would involve issues like colors but most importantly design quality. Difficult but nonetheless important.

Mine still has my sticker with a #

P.S. You have some collection, there. Very nice.

The exact subject i was needing help on. It is a great group, the NPS. Joined after hearing you, talk about it.

OMG 😱 I just love your collection ❤

Thanks for the video. Very interesting. Im thinking of starting to collect glass paperweights. I recently took possession of a glass paperweight i grew up with and that always fascinated me as a kid. How would i go about trying to identify its origin? It's been in my family for more than 50 years, and my dad, who got it, was an antique dealer, so it's probably much older than that. Any ideas about how i would investigate? Thanks.

I have the exact same small yellow,blue and red paperweight. Thanks for making me realise mine is fake😭 Hahaa na honestly thankyou.gutted but I kind of knew it was fake but now I’m fully aware

I'm subbed and look forward to watching this when I put my senior friend to bed (Caregiver). BTW, he's British and has many paperweights, this should be fun.

Chinese millifiore looks surprisingly good. There is also a Japanese Murano workshop actually set up in Venice. Guess millifiore is an art form practiced by different craftsmen.

Thank you for recording this and posting it to your channel!

Bless you. I inherited a Sea Nymphs paperweight and could find nothing about it. Thanks so much for this video.

This was very interesting and helpful. Thank you so much!

thank you

I thank you Ive learned alot. I found several of mine in a dumpster. they were very nice.

❤️ beautiful

Paperweight investigate! That's cute. 💚

Just started collecting paperweights a few weeks ago and Caithness ltd editions just keep turning up (3 so far). They are stunning!!

Are you ok if I use a link to your interview on my web site? I am working on a project with Gordon on some new artwork backed by the Arts Council and want to add some info about Gordon .

You have a gorgeous collection!

Great interview. Really Love Gordon's work and he deserves all the respect in the world.

Thank you for sharing this!

Great videos ❤

I have just begun collecting in the last six months…much of mine are Murano. I love this channel to learn more about what is out there for me to find. Look forward to more videos 🙌🥰

Love your collection ❤

Beautiful, thank you for sharing your collection.

I have about five Strathearn paperweights which is an accomplishment given the distance from Scotland on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state. I think that they are special.

My 2.5" Perthshire came in today. Wow-O-Wow is it stunning. I can see the results of their company trashing 40%~ of the weights at the end of the week, if they don't pass QC. The canes are so sharp and clean. Beautiful translucent ground and absolutely perfect complex cane structure. It is a later one(P cane in center - probably late 70s/early 80s). Thank you for the videos again! Definitely inspiring and helping to move up in the quality of Millefiori examples in the collection. I still love the ones I have already, but it is amazing to see a weight specifically aimed at being flawless. Cheers and kind regards PaperWeight Investigate, -Alex

Brilliant interview. Thank you. I've renovated a few paperweights and I know just how hard it is to achieve a good result. Also, a superb tip about placing the weight into water to see how much glass there is covering the internal pattern.

This interview was so very interesting. Thanks for doing this.

You're singlehandedly responsible for me ordering a Perthshire and two more spoked Millefiori paperweights. 😅 The video showed me styles I didn't know about before. Thanks for sharing and the information! One of my weights will he crossing the pond to Alabama in the U.S from G.B via Royal Mail.

This is brilliant, so informative ❤

I've stopped collecting and have begun selling. But I still love the magic of glass.

Thank you for the informative video! Seems I have had an eye for cheaply done Millefiori and well done. First thing I look for is bubbles topside. Them I look at how the base of the canes were cut. I have a couple of Chinese Millefiori paperweights, but they are well above the $29.99 eBay ones, which I purchased one recently to study the structure. And now you mentioned the colors, it is extremely obvious combined with some other observations. That said, I still have respect for well done Chinese Millefiori paperweights. They don't have the prestige of Italian glass, but some Chinese Millefiori paperweights look extremely well done. The clarity of the crystal used is also something I look for, and the uniformity of the canes. Unless it is a carpet of geometric shaped canes. I've just one example of that style, and the Murano sticker got lost during a move, being in a hot moving truck, the sticker probably got stuck in the box. Unpacked so much I wouldn't have thought to look. Thank you again for the video! These are my favorite style, though I have many styles. Only have eight Mille or so at the moment.

Thank you. Well done. I have one the same as the murano on the left red white and blue which I've been told is Chinese. It looks so much like yours there. Polished base but with imperfections in the base.

My wife just found one of these at flea market and brought it to me. I like marbles and this fits in with marbles perfect

I have been collecting paperwhites for about 20 years now with my mum and I've just been buying them and not researching them so have got a lot of questions to ask🤔

Hi would you go live on UA-cam and take questions🤔
