While some paperweight designs during this period were made in limited production, this ambitious weight is considered particularly unique. The complex upright bouquet design features a multi-petaled flower with both millefiori and yellow match-head florets, surrounded by a latticinio torsade. This may have served as a presentation piece, or as a prototype for equally ambitious basket bouquets.
