Millefiori & Half-Spokes (Mid-year 2011)

From the Mid-year Collection 2011 this is Design No. 15. Framing a centre cane with 18 individual elements are 2 rows of complex millefiori canes separated by 12 orange-centred latticinio half-spokes with a large and a small cane set between them. The blood-orange tonality results from the combination of colours used in the canes; for instance orange placed alongside purple & pale-pink - with the whole design over a translucent cranberry ground!
A beautifully set up design in an unusual colour. A PMcD 11 signature/date cane is embedded in the centre of the polished, concave base.
