Millefiori Paperweight. This paperweight
consists four concentric circles of millefiori around a central
group of millefiori canes. 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). It also has a paper label "PMcD Glass Studio LTD,
Hand Made in Crieff Scotland."
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
LTD, Hand Made in Crieff Scotland."
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 A paperweight of this design was originally made by Perthshire exclusively for L.H. Selman, Ltd., so it is possible Peter continued to make the design for Selman after Perthshire closed.

Crown weights are considered by some to be the most exciting of all millefiori designs. They are extremely difficult to make. Peter McDougall did not make many of these miniature crowns.

black. It is signed in the design with a complex cane made
from four separate letter canes forming the signature PMcD (as

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.
