A medium-sized, low-domed, early 20th Century Old English concentric - probably Arculus or Walsh-Walsh - with a fake 1848 date and 4 rows of cog canes - in shades of mid-blue, pale-lavender, candy-pink and pale-green - around a red/white centre cane. The lavender canes are filled with white trefoils..

A neatly set up 6-row concentric, most likely from the Richardson glassworks. Presumably it began life as an inkwell, and was cut down after being damaged - which would explain the low dome. The outer row of white cruciform canes, the quality of the other canes, the colouring and the precise set-up ..

A paperweight-related item - made by an, as yet, unidentified English factory - with colourful millefiori canes forming a slightly-domed cushion in the base. 5 rows of well made complex tube & ribbed canes in dark-blue, pale-green, pale & deep-pink, turquoise & white with cruciform and star centres ..

A straight-sided, high-domed early 20th century 6-row concentric. Set around a large blue-and-white central cane are rings of red-and-white cross-canes, white and turquoise-and-white corrugated canes and orange stars in 20-point corrugated “collars”.A well finished weight with some unusual canes. A ..

A precise set-up, with controlled, well-placed bubbles. The canes in the 3rd row from the centre are unusual 18-tooth cogs. The neatly-finished outer row of pink canes is pulled underneath leaving a small area to view the entire set-up “in miniature”. Attractive colouring in coral-pink, white, blue,..

A white, blue and red floret centres 5 rows of precisely-set cog canes. The canes in row 3 match the canes in the outer row. The predominant colour is blue - in various shades - complemented by white, and relieved by a row of pink-lined white tubes with 5 “rogue” canes - white-lined pink tubes !Nipp..

A straight-sided, high-domed, neatly set-up weight (possibly Richardson) with 5 rows of predominantly white millefiori canes - with hints of red, blue and lime-green - centred by a white, 8-lobed cog cane with a lime-green lining. Between the canes are controlled bubbles; although one has slipped to..

Another of those well made, magnum-size 19th Century Old English weights, which is difficult to attribute to any particular glassworks. 6 rings of ruffle and cog canes in an attractive colour combination - pink, ruby, blue, aqua & white - are neatly set around a central dark-green and white ruffle/c..

A white 18-toothed cog cane - with a red, blue & white cross - centres this well made 5-row concentric produced, most likely, in one of the - as yet - unidentified English glassworks. The canes in the first three rows are slightly flared. The white, pale-blue & mid-blue crimps all have a cross in th..

A magnum weight from an unidentified English glassworks. It’s a true magnum at 107mm (4 1/4") diameter! Small cogs and rods in the centre are surrounded by irregularly-shaped white collars containing numerous tiny blue, white & red rods plus a partial row of pink & white stars sheathed in translucen..

Smaller than most Old English weights, this well-executed 6 row concentric - with a row of distinctive black & white 7/6 canes around the blue-lined centre cog - was probably made in the Walsh-Walsh glassworks ca. 1920/30. The rows are neatly set with no slippage. There is an outer row of blue & whi..
