| 3186 | Peter McDougall Medium Ribbed Millefiori Paperweight. This
paperweight consists four concentric circles of millefiori around
a central millefiori cane. Although it is not a true
concentric, it gives the appearance of a concentric because the
pattern is so regular. The ground is black. It is
signed in the design with a complex cane made from four separate
letter canes forming the signature PMcD (as shown in the
close-up).
This is often called a pressed weight because a mold is used to form the outside ribbing. The top is flattened. The ribbing gives the glass a real glittery appearance as you can see in the picture.

Paperweight Pin or Candy Dish With Gold Cross and Garland.
Colorful pin dish or candy dish with a cross of gold complex
stardust millefiori canes and an outer garland of simple blue and
white canes. The design is set on a translucent cobalt blue
ground. It is signed with a paper label "PMcD Glass Studio

Scottish makers have a history of making candy dishes and other shapes out of paperweights when they realize that the product is flawed in some way. I suspect that they also make these dishes to order. In this case, I can see no flaws. A paperweight of this design was originally made by Perthshire exclusively for L.H. Selman, Ltd., so it is possible Peter continued to make the design for Selman after Perthshire closed.

Eight Pointed Star Scramble Millefiori Paperweight. This
miniature paperweight features a scramble or end of the day design
and is finished as a eight pointed star. The ground is
black. It is signed in the design with a complex cane made
from four separate letter canes forming the signature PMcD (as
shown in the close-up). It also has a paper label "PMcD

a rare example because it was not part of Peter McDougall's
standard offering. He had a six pointed star that was
similar and a small scramble finished as a round paperweight, but
I could not find this eight pointed star in his offerings. This is called a pressed weight because a mold is used to form the shape. The top is flattened.

opaque black ground. The pattern can be called a concentric,
but most collectors would refer to this as a spaced millefiori
design. A crisp design with perfect execution.
It is signed on the bottom with a complex cane made from four
separate letter canes forming the signature PMcD and also has a
paper label "PMcD Glass Studio LTD, Handmade in Crieff Scotland."

Peter McDougall started his glass making career as an apprentice at Strathearn Glass in Crieff, Scotland back in the 1960s. When Perthshire was formed in 1968, he left Strathearn to move to Perthshire and worked there in many positions, eventually becoming Manager and Chief Glassmaker. Perthshire Paperweights closed early in 2002 after the death of the owner Neil Drysdale. Peter McDougall then made high quality glass paperweights at his own glass studio, PMcD Glass Studio Ltd. in Crieff, Scotland from 2002 until early 2012. The studio is now closed but Peter plans to continue to make a limited number of paperweights in the future. Size: Just over 2 1/8” diameter by just under 1
1/2” high. The pictures do not do justice to this paperweight. Ignore the white areas, they are glare from the lights. For extra pictures, click on the picture at the right and the following links: Large picture of the paperweightSOLD. Click on the picture to see a larger image. |
