This one has the insulator type shape but otherwise appears to match. It also is chipped all around the inside edge but just below the level of that base ring, very odd as the ring itself is barely affected. Something to do with the way it was pressed maybe? It does not look much like wear. Diameter bang on 3¼ inches.

Thanks John, I now have one like yours as well as the original post. Made by Sowerby in their 1885 catalogue.
Although I’m still unclear of its purpose.

The feathers pattern is shown under paperweights (page 36, 1885 cat if anyone else is interested), underneath there is also a reference to two sizes. On the other side of the page are the piano rests or stands also available in two sizes. Perhaps their various designs could be ordered on both stands and paperweights.
