27 Shard Roses (Miniature)

Despite its small size, the glassmakers at St. Mandé managed to squeeze 27 white shard roses into this miniature close concentric. The 8 roses with red sepals around the 2-ring blue centre cane are each filled with tiny yellow concentric tubes surrounded by 8 pink stars, whereas the 19 blue-sepal roses in the outer garland are filled with 6 white & purple stars. A row of complex green & white millefiori canes completes the design.
The sides curve down steeply to a small polished, concave base with a narrow wear rim.
