Hi Ross, thanks for your info and this paperweight does look similar to the combed type you mention, but i don’t think this is how my paperweight was made. In my paperweight, the filaments go around the outside circumference of each segment and then in at a tangent towards the central bubble at each edge of each segment (like the skin on a segment of an orange). The filaments aren’t just on the outside surface. It looks like it may have been made by assembling five sections, then blowing a bubble.
