Closepack Millefiori Paperweight

While this contemporary millefiori paperweight may closely resemble an antique weight, it contains a tiny reference to popular culture mixed in among the more traditional cane designs. Because video games were a significant part of the artist's childhood, MacNaught included a special glass cane he created of a pixelated Space Invader. You can find it in the outer ring of this weight.
