This is a vintage concentric millefiori art glass paperweight. It features multicolored glass rods, or canes, arranged in distinct circular rings with a bright yellow floral center, surrounded by rows of brown, white, blue, and reddish-orange star and rosette patterns encased in clear glass.

Design Features

• Central Core: A bright yellow multi-petaled floral cane.

• Concentric Rings: Alternating layers of brown floral canes, white and blue star canes, and an outer border of reddish-orange crimp or star canes.

• Style: Venetian or Murano-style Italian art glass, or mid-20th-century production mimicking traditional 19th-century French designs.

• Value Range: Typically sells between $20 to $100 depending on size, maker marks, and complexity.

A 6-sided faceted base (or a multifaceted hexagonal cut profile) significantly increases the collectibility and market value of this millefiori paperweight compared to a standard smooth dome.

If your paperweight features these hand-cut facets, its value increases to $45.00 to $95.00 depending on the specific origin and craftsmanship.

Value by Specific Origin

• M Design Art / Mid-Century Murano Style: Basic multifaceted pieces without signature markings typically sell for $45.00 to $65.00 on platforms like eBay. 

• Perthshire or Caithness Glass (Scotland): If the 6-sided cutting was done by a notable Scottish studio (often featuring a polished base or limited-edition number), the market value climbs into the $75.00 to $100.00 tier.

• Chinese Studio Glass: Some vintage Chinese imports from the late 20th century utilized multi-faceted hexagonal shapes; these usually average around $40.00 to $50.00.
