I have a vague memory of seeing a similar paperweight to the one shown below in a book or auction catalogue a few years ago, but cannot trace it. The weight is made of lead crystal, looks like it is old glass with some sugaring / cording and a slight dark tinge. The base is original, not polished down from a much deeper weight, as far as I can see. The white and blue are just standard colours that appear in most weights, but the orange/brown central stripe looks rather like St Louis, as does the idea of adding a torsade which you cannot see from above!
Diameter 3 1/4 inch / 83 mm; height 1 1/2 inch / 40 mm.
Any thoughts or leads gratefully received.
