| 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.

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 A paperweight of this design was originally made by Perthshire exclusively for L.H. Selman, Ltd., so it is possible Peter continued to make the design for Selman after Perthshire closed.
