A mid-size, fully packed scrambled weight, which despite the salmon & pale-green ribbons and plentiful latticinio has an overall blue tonality. There is one whole complex cane (just slightly off-centre), a couple of white & red cogs and blue & white bull’s eye canes and - near the perimeter - a white-on-blue silhouette cane with 2 dancing ladies enclosed in a white crimp collar.
A narrow wear rim surrounds the polished, concave base.
(Provenance: Sotheby’s, London, 14th May 2003, Lot 164).
