Set around a large ruby/white 8-point star, the canes in this large closepack - attributed to H. G. Richardson - are all very similar, but appear in various sizes and different colours - white/ruby, white/blue, white/aquamarine & bluish/mauve. The basket is formed from similar canes with a couple of others - dark-blue & blue /pink - added for good measure. They are not drawn neatly into the centre of the base but are cut off a bit haphazardly. The slightly rough pontil, through which the centre star cane can be seen, has been lightly ground to remove a couple of sharp edges.
