Signed / Dated Mushroom

A fine concentric mushroom, with none of the slippage so often found in dated St. Louis weights. The tuft is composed of 5 rows of complex canes in pink, blue, chartreuse, white, claret and green tones; signed in the outer row SL 1848.
The mushroom is encircled at the foot by a white corkscrew and blue torsade and is set over a 16-point star-cut base.
Prov: Anon sale, Sotheby’s London 6th July 1970, Lot 33.
