An early Clichy concentric with 7 rows of millefiori canes - including a row containing 28 “early pink roses” - sometimes considered to be the forerunner of the trademark Clichy rose as we know it. (See remarks on page 273 of Paul Dunlop’s “Dictionary of Glass Paperweights”). The canes are set on an opaque white ground. Although at first glance, there appear to be only 6 rows, a 7th row of pale-green complex canes is inserted between the pink, white, blue & red canes and the basket of alternating blue & white staves. The weight is in top condition; some slight pitting around the lower part of the basket - more likely a production fault rather than damage.
