[@pippadawg7037]

@@rollapoid If you want a millefiori paperweight, there is no need to spend 5k. The Italians make them for much less and they were still quite pretty. You can search Murano millefiori to find them. You can pay as little as 30 dollars and up to 1k for a more intricate piece. Czech also make some pretty millefiori glass paperweights too.
