Peter Holmes paperweight

This is a one-off paperweight made by Peter Holmes in 1972 and only released by him very recently. It is a very large paperweight just under 4 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches high. It has one top facet and five side facets. Complex canes are set in a dark royal blue ground and surrounded by a ring of latticino twists. Peter Holmes is better known for his abstract design papereweights but here is proof that he can also design and make superb millefiore weights.
