This paperweight measures 3 1/3 inches diameter, 2 1/4 inches high, and has a close-pack arrangement of canes with an outer ring of alternating twists and canes. Overall, a bit of a messy feel. If you look closely, there is one of those unusual 'rose' canes (see last closeup photo.) The base has a rough pontil which in inside a basal rim. If anyone can help with the identification and/or age of this paperweight, I'd be very grateful.
My thoughts are drawn to Vasart or Ysart Brothers, but without any degree of conviction!
Best wishes,
Simon
