Peter McDougall Paperweights for Sale


Peter McDougall started his glassmaking career as an apprentice at Strathearn Glass in Crieff, Scotland back in the 1960s.  When Perthshire was formed in 1968, he left Strathearn to move to Perthshire and worked there in many positions, eventually becoming Manager and Chief Glassmaker.  Perthshire Paperweights closed early in 2002 and Peter is now making high quality glass paperweights from his own glass studio, PMcD Glass Studio Ltd. in Crieff, Scotland. I am pleased to be able to offer this selection of PMcD paperweights.

2416 Peter McDougall Miniature Millefiori Paperweight.   This paperweight consists three concentric circles of millefiori around two central millefiori canes.  Although it is not a true concentric, it gives the appearance of a concentric because the pattern is so regular.  The ground is black.  It is signed in the design with a complex cane made from four separate letter canes forming the signature PMcD (as shown in the close-up). 

This is often called a pressed weight because a mold is used to form the outside ribbing.  The top is flattened.  The ribbing gives the glass a real glittery appearance as you can see in the picture. 

Size: 1 3/4" diameter by 1 1/8" high.  Outstanding condition with no scratches, chips or cracks. It also has a paper label from PMcD Glass Studio on the bottom.
