Millefiori, “mille” (thousand) and “fiori” (flowers), in Italian.
I had a similar millefiori paper weight as a child. I had no concept of a paper weight then and took it as a treasure item which I spend numerous lazy afternoons staring into the glass. I would swear once I saw the little flowers moving inside but of course no one would believe me.
The millefiori frog here is not a Baccarat, but I just love the 70s psychedelic feeling to the film … and now you can perhaps also see the flowers moving inside the glass.
