Although Peter McDougall closed his studio in early 2012, he continues to make a very few special weights using “borrowed” facilities. This is the “Catherine Weight” Close pack. Peter first made this “Catherine Weight” design in late 2010 and he continued to make these by special order but with a different base for 2011. The 2010 weight had a Blue base color and for 2011 base color was Red. These were full-sized weights at about 3-1/4 in diameter. A very Large Close pack millefiori design featuring over 250 different canes is formed into a cushion set over a Red core. The set-up is done in the style of the antique Baccarat weights with a clear area around each cane that permits the inner core to show. The paperweight is 3-3/16″ in diameter and 2-1/8″ high and is signed with Peter’s “PMcD2011″ cane in the set-up near the lower side. Satisfaction guaranteedBID WITH CONFIDENCE.
