4-row Concentric
A meticulously-set, low-domed close concentric design with 4 rows of complex millefiori canes encircling the red & green whorl canes in the centre. The complex canes also include tiny white rods set in blue circles and blue/white pinched bull’s-eye canes. The other cane colours are peach/pale-blue and pink/turquoise.
There is a distinct ridge around the weight just above the basal rim of the polished, concave base - a production-related feature often seen in St. Mandé weights.
This weight - purchased in 1977 by the current owner - was sold by London dealer Alan Tillman as a St. Louis concentric. More recent findings, however, point to St. Mandé as the maker.
