Perfect for collectors of art glass, desk décor, or barware accents, this curated lot offers a striking mix of classic millefiori and studio glass design.

Paperweights and decorative glass objects like these became collectible for their craftsmanship and vibrant visual appeal.

Value:
Estimated $100–$140 for the lot depending on attribution and collector demand
