Attribution was difficult on this one, but the central deep-pink and white ruffle/flower cane matches exactly the Antique Gillinder Lot 95 in L.H. Selman’s Auction 43 (Spring 2009). Apart from the first row of white/dark-green crimps, all the other canes - 8-lobed white or pink single ruffles - contain a single cane: blue ruffles, white crimps & pink rods. (The outer pink canes are also identical to the paperweight mentioned above).
The ends of the canes in the outer row are not drawn underneath in the usual style, which perhaps points to an early attempt at re-creating classic Bacchus weights - and that was the problem with the attribution...because the blue-lined canes in the second row are identical to the canes in a Bacchus mushroom!
Gillinder-style faceting - beveled, hexagonal top window and 6 low-cut, concave side facets - but this could be a later addition.
A wide basal rim (with wear only on the outer edge) and polished central concavity.
