Scrambled (Franchini ?)

Possibly an early example from the Franchini workshop. Nestling among the mainly pink & white latticinio cables and aventurine inclusions in this mid-19th century scrambled, are 14 or 15 millefiori canes. There are basically two types - with slight variations - and consist mainly of tubes and rods in shades of pink & yellow, dark-blue, white, brick-red & yellow.
As so often with weights of this type it is not perfectly round; the profile is slightly conical, and the surface somewhat uneven. The basal concavity is relatively deep with a rough pontil mark.
