This "Paperweight" (c. 1845-1860) is a beautiful example of a millefiori glass paperweight, made by the Clichy Glasshouse. The intricate design features a lattice of green glass ribbons interspersed with a variety of colorful flowers, created by fusing together rods of different colored glass. These paperweights were highly sought after during the Victorian era and are considered a classic example of decorative glass art. The intricate floral patterns and clear glass make this paperweight both beautiful and captivating.
