The cruciform canes in the outer row and the other types of millefiori in this white, pink & blue 5-row concentric would seem to point to an early 20th Century Richardson attribution.  The different lengths of the outer canes has resulted, unfortunately, in a somewhat untidy finish.At some ..

A neat set-up and good colouring in this fine Old English concentric enclosed in a white basket of 8-tooth cog canes.

Set around a large ruby/white 8-point star, the canes in this large closepack - attributed to H. G.

Although a number of the canes in this closepack are similar to those found in ‘Classic Bacchus’ weights, its attribution must be to an as yet unidentified English maker.  The overall tonality is pink, red & white with splashes of blue & green.

A good, low-domed Old English concentric with 3 rings of slightly-splayed, neatly-set millefiori canes around a triple-crimp feature cane.

This magnum 6-row concentric can be attributed most likely to the Richardson glassworks. The rows of canes - with a predominant white tonality relieved by touches of mid-blue, red, pink and pale-green - are well set up with virtually no slippage and centred by a white 8-tooth cog cane veneered in r..
