Please help ID this Millefiori Paperweight

Please help ID this millefiori paperweight, measures 2.5" in diameter, very fine canes, slightly concaved base with an outer unpolished rim.

My only thoughts were may be French but most likely miles away.

Many thanks Roy

Could well be a Dupont - the canes look very similar to some I have seen.
