Concentric with Upright Twists

The central millefiori cane in this concentric design is encircled by a ring of upright twists and a second ring of complex orange millefiori canes alternating with upright twists. Twists also feature in the border garland - standing upright in the green/white circlets and lying flat as blue/white spokes enhanced with aventurine. The design is set in an opaque bluish-purple textured ground.
Fire-polished concave base with a rough pontil. Brownish-grey tint to the high dome; most likely pre-1940s Moncrieff period.
(For an almost identical design on an orange ground see page 132 in Colin Mahoney’s book “Masterworks: The Paperweights of Paul Ysart”).
