A superb Whitefriars millefiori paperweight, with the Whitefriars logo and year 1977 clearly visible within the design. This example features a beautifully arranged field of colourful canes, all encased in clear glass that has been expertly cut into a pentagonal form. Each face has a polished faceted window, creating a kaleidoscopic play of colour and light when viewed from different angles.
Whitefriars paperweights from the 1970s are highly sought after for their precision, clarity, and distinctive cane work, and this piece is an excellent example of the craftsmanship from the final years of the Whitefriars glasshouse. The condition is excellent — a collector grade weight.
