This is a rare opportunity for an elite collector. Islington paperweights are extremely rare. Around 30 millefiori paperweights are believed to exist. This unusual star patterned chequer is the only known example of this design. Other known examples feature closepacks, concentric, spaced millefiori and a group that features close concentric designs with bicolored stave baskets. Several of the canes in this piece match other known pieces and this examples was featured in the PCC newsletter as well as the 2022 PCA Annual Bulletin.
