Rare Concentric with Silhouettes
It is extremely rare to find Gridel silhouettes in a 2 row concentric on clear, rather than the more usual design on upset muslin. Encircling a complex millefiori centre cane are 3 silhouettes - a black dog, rooster and goat - alternating with 3 complex millefiori canes. There are 2 more silhouette canes - a black stag and a second goat - plus a flower portrait in the second row along with 2 arrow canes and a shamrock cane set between groups of white & red corrugated canes.
The lower half of the weight is cut with finger flutes while the polished, concave base is finished with a 24-point star-cut.
