ANTIQUE NEW ENGLAND CONCENTRIC MILLEFIORI ART GLASS PAPERWEIGHT, central multi-colored complex cane encircled by two exterior garlands with each being comprised of a variety of complex canes in a variety of colors, with the exterior garland having an "1825" date cane and a Rabbit silhouette cane, all above an opal latticinio ground, polished pontil mark. New England Glass Co. 1870-1887. 1 3/4" H, 2.25" D.
Literature: Parallels Hawley - The Art of the Paperweight: Boston & Sandwich and New England Glass Companies, pp. 114 and 178, figs. 6.87 and 9.7. 
Catalogue Note: This date cane is actually an 1852 cane which was encased upside down and backwards. It is uncertain what the significance of the year 1852 is. It is speculated that this cane might be in honor of Daneil Webster of Massachusetts and Henry Clay of Kentucky, who both fought for and succeeded in getting higher tariffs to protect American Industries. It is also thought that this 1825 cane is to celebrate the founding of the Boston & Sandwich Glass Co. by Deming Jarvis, but that argument seems unlikely due to the fact that it appears in New England Glass Co. paperweights as well, such as this example. The most likely cause is error by the worker.

Condition

Nearly undamaged with a few flakes to the table ring. Having a spectral bruise-like imperfection to the interior of the pontil mark, as made.
