This is a nice example of an old (almost antique, but not yet quite 100 years old) flower weight.  These old Flower weights are generally recognized as having been made in the 1920s-1930s, however some examples have been dated to about the 1960s/70s when U.S. trade with China resumed.  The story goes that some US antique dealers took several antique paperweights over to China in the 1920s and asked them to make "copies".  Chinese "copies" of the classic Baccarat Double Clematis and Pansy, and the New England Glass Company Nosegay, Millefiori, and Blue Flower weights are well documented as is a rare version of a Clichy flower.  Other designs were also produced including some upright flowers.  This is the Chinese version of the New England Glass Company Quatrefoil Faceted Blue Clematis

 

A Blue flower is set with a bud, stem, and two Green leaves. The center of the flower is a White millefiori cane.  The design rests on a White spiral latticinio ground.  The weight has the characteristic "Quatrefoil" top facet (a type of facet that was specific to the New England Glass Company) and eight side facets (four large and four small).

 

 

This paperweight is 2-1/2" in diameter and 1-5/8" high.  There are a few small nicks to the edges of some of the facets and an open bubble on the bottom (from the making).  Other than that the weight is clean and condition is near perfect.  Although not signed, attribution is positive.
