My Secret Drawer. About ten to twenty years ago, during the peak of my glass paperweight accumulation, I started to put a few extra special Murano weights in a drawer in my study. These were for me, and I never before have offered any of them for sale. Once the drawer was full, I more or less forgot about it. I just decided it was time. The weights were under a thick layer of dust. It is a joy to visit with them again. The best Murano weights are as good as any made anywhere.
PW1543. Murano AVEM concentric closepack. Excellent collector weight from my secret drawer. Condition is excellent. 3 1/8 inch diameter; 2 7/8 inches tall; one pound and four ounces. $130
PW2047. Murano concentric closepack. Excellent collector weight from my secret drawer. This is one of the best Murano weights I have seen, in my opinion. The color combination of the canes is fantastic. Note that only one of the canes is different. The yellow really pops, but the base outshines with a killer combination of colors including gold aventurine – similar to tutti frutti. Condition is perfect, as if brand new. 3 1/8 inch diameter; 2 7/8 inches tall; one pound and four ounces. $250
PW3169. Murano orange sea urchin. I have no idea how this was made, but it’s an interesting and usual piece. Stunning collector weight from my secret drawer. Flat polished top and base. Condition is excellent with a few small scratches or rubs. 3 7/16 inch diameter; 2 3/8 inches tall; one pound and ten ounces. $140
