The complex centre features a blue rose surrounded by green & white crimps and lavender stars. Apart from this colourful centre cluster, the overall tonality is white and light-grey. The large, spaced white stars - like exploding fireworks above the mottled, translucent amber ground - give the paper..

Radiating out from a complex centre cane are 20 two-tone twisted ribbons. They are joined by white latticinio spirals to another 20 two-tone ribbons in the lower half of the weight. There are subtle differences in the colour combinations...so rather than count them all, let’s just say this “one-off”..

A novelty weight with 4 different, highly-detailed murrine clown portraits - floating on strings like balloons - against a greyish-blue “sky”. Although they look quite simple, it takes a good deal of expertise to make not only the murrine canes, but also the weight itself, which is basically a centr..
