The cruciform canes in the outer row and the other types of millefiori in this white, pink & blue 5-row concentric would seem to point to an early 20th Century Richardson attribution. The different lengths of the outer canes has resulted, unfortunately, in a somewhat untidy finish.At some ..
A neat set-up and good colouring in this fine Old English concentric enclosed in a white basket of 8-tooth cog canes. The 4 rows of blue, pink and white millefiori cog & cross canes are centred by a large, white 8-tooth cog lined in red and veneered in aqua. Between the canes are small controlled bu..
A mid-size 2-ring Old English concentric from an unidentified maker. Encircling an 8-lobed, pink/white “flowerhead” cane with wispy blue lining is a ring of small green/white cogs. In the second ring are 9 larger canes, 3 of which are set in opaque white collars. The corrugated staves in the basket ..
A magnum Old English concentric from an, as yet unknown maker, with a large central feature cane, which is repeated in a smaller version in the first row. In the second row, pale-green ogee canes with a pink centre alternate with white cogs around a blue & red corrugated tube. The outer row is c..
An excellent 19th Century “loose” closepack, with a pleasing combination of colours and good composite canes over clear...from an unknown maker ! The canes - although not highly complex - are varied, appear in different sizes and display evidence of a skilled maker. For instance, a red-lined white c..
A good, low-domed Old English concentric with 3 rings of slightly-splayed, neatly-set millefiori canes around a triple-crimp feature cane. Within the flower-like, 20-tooth white crimp is a 12-tooth pale-blue & white crimp, which in turn, is centred by a pink-sheathed, 8-tooth white cog. Between the ..
A medium-sized, low-domed, early 20th Century Old English concentric - probably Arculus or Walsh-Walsh - with a fake 1848 date and 4 rows of cog canes - in shades of mid-blue, pale-lavender, candy-pink and pale-green - around a red/white centre cane. The lavender canes are filled with white trefoils..
Another of those well made, magnum-size 19th Century Old English weights, which is difficult to attribute to any particular glassworks. 6 rings of ruffle and cog canes in an attractive colour combination - pink, ruby, blue, aqua & white - are neatly set around a central dark-green and white ruffle/c..
Smaller than most Old English weights, this well-executed 6 row concentric - with a row of distinctive black & white 7/6 canes around the blue-lined centre cog - was probably made in the Walsh-Walsh glassworks ca. 1920/30. The rows are neatly set with no slippage. There is an outer row of blue & whi..
A fine Old English 6-row concentric around a cruciform centre cane. The overall colouring, precise setting (although slightly off-centre) and the ruffle canes in the first and third rows could possibhly suggest Bacchus. The same applies to the blue, white and red ogee canes in the 5th row. However, ..
