This weight - with 6 complex millefiori canes surrounding a centre floret and set on short segments of white muslin - was made in the Josephine Glassworks in Silesia ca. 1850/60. One of the complex canes has a “miniature” translucent pink rose with yellow/white stamen framed by 6 green & white cog canes (cf. the example in Peter von Brackel’s book “Classic Paperweights from Silesia/Bohemia”, page 73, left-hand column).
