1976 Closepack with Lace Twists

From a centre cluster of canes, 5 lace twists radiate out across a dark-blue ground and divide the cushion into triangular panels each filled with a colourful assortment of closely-packed Whitefriars single & multi-cane millefiori.  The weight is finished with a circular top facet and 5 side facets.
Signed in one of the panels with a blue/white 1976 signature/date cane.  Typical Whitefriars button base.
Possibly made to trial new canes
