<p>[QUOTE="busryde, post: 756956, member: 10891"]I collect paperweights, but I'm no expert, and this one has always thrown me. It is a multifaceted paperweight, 4-leaf clover cut on top, octaganol oval facets with two smaller oval facets stacked between them around the circumference. Simple flower motif surrounded with millefiori canes. A countered woven interlace for the background. What's bothered me is the glass is not real clear. In fact it looks dirty in some spots. The base seems to be well ground/polished. I don't know that it's old, and I won't be offended if you tell me if it's a chinese knockoff. I have more sentimental value attached than monetary. So please give me your honest opinion. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]189930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189934[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
