thanks Alan I did think PP marble, its just usually Scottish glass I collect. But I really like this im keeping it even if not Scottish

paperweights:
I posted earlier that I disagree.  I believe this is Scottish, possibly Peter McDougall.  The canes are the typical Perthshire simple canes.  Somewhere along the edits ... my post disappeared so I am reposting it.

Hi all,

I agree with Allan: I think it is either Perthshire or Peter McDougall. Those canes are not Murano IMHO.

Hi.  I think my original post about it being Murano may have lost something in the ether from Tacoma (where I wrote it).  I am sure I typed more than 3 words!  I said something along the lines of ' this is Murano at first sight, given the flat base and some of the canes, but other canes do look Scottish'. 

On further examination I agree that many canes look Scottish.  Anyway, now I am home, and checking a Peter McDougall 2010 price list, I see he was offering in his Abstract Range design 'A3. Marbles available in various colours'. Trade price £3.90 each.  I think this may be one of his pieces.

Alan
